[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think eventually, people are going to have to give those damn guns up. [/b] They serve no purpose to the general public.  And clearly are dangerous in the wrong hands.  Maybe we let people store them at gun ranges or something.

I will never understand how anyone can defend those particular firearms.[/quote]

That's funny.  Who is going to go and try to collect them?  You can't put the lotion back in the tube. Sorry. The best they can do is make ammunition too expensive to purchase, or hard to obtain. They've actually done that with the .22 ammo. The .22 is a starter rifle. [/quote]

Make them illegal and impose high fines for possession.  Offer a bounty to people who turn in the holdouts.  It will take a decade to get most of them, but they'll eventually make a dent. [/quote]

Australia managed to get pretty much all their automatic, semi-automatic, and pump action shotguns out of private hands when they were made illegal after the Port Arthur Massacre. Overall, 1 million firearms were destroyed. There were various gun "amnesties" offered to those who retained weapons, no questions asked.

This can happen in the US, too. It will obviously be on a much larger scale.[/quote]

A million guns were seized?  That doesn't even move the needle in the US, where 300 million guns are in private hands.  Say it slowly and let it sink in:  300 million.  Australia also doesn't have a Second Amendment.[/quote]

We've got to start somewhere instead of pretending that there isn't a problem at all.
