@Very-Rusty saidIt won't work in the first week or even first year, but if you have amnesty after amnesty and you offer people cash for their guns, it will start to change.
There are literally thousands of illegal guns, rifles, semi-automatics out there, how do you get rid of them???
How do you stop people from making bombs or cocktails and throwing 'em through windows???

@kmax87 saidThey been doing that for years paying people to turn in weapon with no questions asked. Do you think it is working? I don't believe it is, many of those weapons that have been turned in for cash have probably been involved in crime, not doubt in my mind about that. The very person turning it in may have been the guy using it. A great way to get rid of a murder weapon I would say.

@Very-Rusty saidUntil its a concerted effort across the board with much stricter controls of who and why people get to buy guns. Did you read my edit?

How has gun ownership prevented the tyranny of Trump?

@kmax87 saidIt isn't the ones who have to buy guns legally you have to worry about. It is the people who get guns who shouldn't have them. Look at the guy who shot Charlie Kirk for example a 22 year old kid who did it with his Grandfathers rifle!!! How do stop things like that from happening. It is impossible to even try, it like finding a needle in a haystack.

Trump is a whole other matter, you should be more respectful and call him Dictator TRUMP. 😉

@Very-Rusty saidWell all I'm saying is if you say the problem is too big and do nothing about it, how do you change anything?

We expect people who drive cars to be licensed. We expect people who drive on public roads to have insurance. The right to bear arms needs to be tied to responsibility and obligations against unlawful use. Unless the government makes it harder to get guns and enacts a countrywide program of continuous gun reclamation, our solution to gun violence will only be thoughts and prayers.
@kmax87 saidGun violence has went on since the first gun was made and back in the days of the old wild West, and I don't expect it to stop any time soon, at least it will not be in my life time or yours.

@Very-Rusty saidAmong first world nations, why is it only America that has gone down this path?

@Very-Rusty saidNo, really, do you read anything i post? I feel like i am being punkd
To think it will stop the people who want to do harm is just plain FALSE. We can agree to disagree.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidWell, it rather seems trump is making a martyer of Kirk as a paragon of free speech.
There will be demontrations at his trial, demanding "justice" for him and that he be exonerated, and riot in the streets when he is convicted.
There will be memes and posters and streets named after him, with street corners that have candles and flowers and other trash dedicated to him, just like they did for George "Fentanyl" Floyd.
They will hold vigils when he is executed and cry about how evil America is for ending his sick life..
Bet me.
Whilst, at the same time, applauding the cancelation of Kimmel and ordering a witch hunt on his political opponents.
Remind you of anything? Historically speaking?
