I also have no idea if Lewis owns any guns.

Which does bring up the question, if no fly no buy were to pass, and someone goes on the no fly list, should that person have to surrender all guns? How about the infant or toddler who shares a name similar to someone on the no fly list. Probably the kid himself doesn't own any guns, but how about the parents?

Clearly straightforward confiscation of all guns is more straightforward, less ambiguous, and leaves no loopholes. I'll hasten to add that I realize confiscation isn't likely to happen, but (no matter how much you are opposed to confiscation) I hope you can admire the simplicity of such a thing.
