Gun Control & RKBA

This was my thoughts originally...that most people are lawful and lawful people would turn them in (if a plan to ban & confiscate was enacted) rather then face the legal consequences.

But then you see the results of a law like the NY Safe Act AWB, where only like 5% complied to a fairly unpopular law - and that was just mandating registration. There will be attrition of course, but nationally we are talking 80 million owners and 350 Million guns - and counting.

Then you have what should be the primary targets of confiscation - the criminal elements which are 70-80% of the gun violence problem, who aren't going to do shit about suddenly becoming lawful. Obviously consequences don't matter to them. And like illegal drugs and alcohol that enough people want, if there is a market there will be criminal organizations and suppliers, along with the associated violence. Guns will be available, with the majority possessed and used by the worse people.


Tough situation.
