NOPE, don't support mass gun confiscation....
It would not solve our immediate problems, only the criminals would be left with guns!!!!!!
Cops may want this....it would make it easier for them to identify criminals maybe?
And in the long run, the huge black market in guns that the criminals use to get guns, would dry up, or at least shrivel on the vine....
But the 10 years plus to get to that benefit would be horrendous and leave us good guys unable to protect ourselves....So, confiscation is out of the question.
There's got to be something else we can do, I just don't know what?
Make it no longer "cool". Remove the fetish-worship of firearms and death in general.
Easier said than done, and takes time and effort, but produces results. We did it with cigarettes, which are still fully legal but no longer socially "cool".
You don't stem a problem by playing whack-a-mole with its supply line. But take away the public desire for it,
now you have results.
But nobody's doing that. We'd rather split into camps where one side plays whack-a-mole and the other side whines, "you can't play whack-a-mole". Both miss the point. Gun violence isn't a legislative issue. It's a cultural values issue.
