(1,039 posts)You believe in a wild fantasy like the possibility of eliminating hundreds of millions of guns and yet you can't get behind the idea that we can limit people's thoughts? Why are you so willing to accept losses to non-gun violence? Are you in the pay of the knife/bomb industrial complex?
Besides, eliminating guns is more than a tangible task. You need to eliminate the ability to create new ones. What is to stop me from building my own guns? The technology is readily available and becoming more available every day. You're going to have to not just wipe out guns, but eliminate knowledge of how to build them. Thought!
Seriously, I'm assuming that you are trolling, but I can't say that I understand your purpose. Even in my most naive and idealistic days did I believe something like totally eliminating guns and the ability to create them would be possible without the imposition of a police state so controlling that it would make our current world seem like a paradise.
