218. Nah, these are my reasonable proposals.

Here's some other thoughts:

How about simply shooting and killing anyone at a crime scene in possession of a gun of any kind? That might discourage folks a bit. No arrest, no trial, just elimination.

How about simply shooting and killing anyone in possession of an illegal weapon of any sort, guns, bombs, precursors, brass knuckles, switchblades, you name it. Again, no arrest, no trial, simple elimination.

How about the simple elimination of those denounced by a neighbor, friend, acquaintance or family member as having possessed an illegal weapon in the past, without another shred of evidence?

See? Those are the proposals that seem somewhat over the top. I'll stand by my other completely reasonable proposals, most of which apply to automobile ownership already.

It's hard because the gunmakers pour enough money into politicians' pockets to make it hard - reasonable has not got a thing to do with it.
