Let me guess though, you'll support confiscation from lawful gun owners, but not the police or military?

Another thing, how do you propose to disarm the criminals? How do you plan to stop the flow of firearms coming into the country from our northern and southern borders?
Can't even stop the flow of drugs or immigrants, what makes you think the govt could stop the flow of firearms.
All you would do is create a HUGE blackmarket for firearms, which org. gangs would gladly fill.
