@AviraDeArah So because it would take decades to work, we should just throw in the towel? To be honest, the whole idea of needing a gun for self-defense is like 95% NRA propaganda. (a quick perusing of the magazine rack in Rite-Aid would convince me that I am going to die within the year if I don’t have a four foot long gun that can shoot massive bullets at an outlandish rate) There are very very few cases where someone’s life was saved because they were carrying a gun (excluding security guards and police). And many many more cases of negligent gun owners leaving loaded handguns where their kids can find them and accidentally kill someone. Or where a robbery leaves the homeowner dead, because the crook started shooting when he saw a weapon. Or where a gun is stolen and used in a crime. At the end of the day, the prevalance and availability of guns in the USA kills far more people than it saves.
And at the end of the day, let’s face it. Even if you would buy into all of this no one needs more than one gun for home self defense. And there’s no need to have more than five bullets in it.
Take away the guns currently out there.
Limit their sale.
Limit their manufacture.
Limit who can own them and how many they can own.
