How many of the over 200 million guns and billions of bullets do you suppose you can get rid of with a law that does not infringe on the right to bear arms?

If you think it's impossible to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, try confiscating 200 million guns and billions of bullets.

It's hopeless.
