Require all firearms be turned in to the government.


Do you think that would reduce the killings in this country?


Yup...

... and that's where we are heading unless the hard core 2nd Ammendment
clingers don't open their eyes and minds and become willing to discuss
and consider gun control laws that fit contemporary times. To continue
to say "nothing will work" and be satisfied with the status quo is
eventually going to force the issue.

A classic case of the cure being worse than the disease. Once more, I
don't believe you can solve a social problem with the legal system. It
didn't work with prohibition, and it's not working with the war on
drugs. I won't go into detail here but there are lots of other ways
to commit mass mayhem without using guns at all. Look no further than
the Boston Marathon.


Understood but horrific as it was, there are far fewer Boston Marathons
when compared to mass shootings using guns.


Americans are lazy but they can be resourceful if they need to be.
