Gun Control & RKBA

Calling for a complete ban on handguns would be political suicide for the Democratic Party. Surely you must realize that political expediency requires an incremental approach. That is why I have to laugh every time I hear a politician or propagandist call for "reasonable" gun control measures and deny the existence of the slippery slope. It's one of the most transparent lies in contemporary politics.

If a ban could be achieved politically, there would still be a huge logistical problem, and the concomitant massive police action would make Prohibition, the War on Drugs, and the Patriot Act look like picnics in the park.

Effectively ban handguns and you will see a surge in the criminal use of sawed-off shotguns. Human nature abhors a vacuum. Thinking that you can solve the social ills of contemporary American society by disarming the public is both naive and potentially dangerous.
