Don't have one, but if I did, no. I don't believe that's the answer to the gun violence problem.
Social programs, mental health, treatment... let's maybe help make it easier for our country's gun owners get the help they need when they need it.

I don't believe guns will go away with laws banning them, the violent minded people will still find a way to obtain on the black market. If they don't have guns they'll find other ways to hurt and mame.

@Starcrossed People will always find a way to be violent without guns if they want to hurt somebody
@Starcrossed Wow. Glad to see we have an adult in the room! It truly isn't a gun problem. As I have said many times, when I was in high school there was a parking lot full of pickup trucks with full gun racks belonging to juniors and seniors. No one ever even considered the crap that has become commonplace today. No one ever sliced up their own bodies with sharp things either. All this sickness is the direct result of leftist thinking and conditioning.
@SW-User Yeah, it will still be potentially deadly for a kid to go trick or treating in south Chicago!

@SW-User But, you know - less.

Guns are pretty efficient - mature tech, quite refined.

@Starcrossed But also less. Black market tends to price guns out of reach of common criminals.

A handgun goes for like $25k in Sydney. In their funny money anyway.

@puck61 I'm mostly a leftist.
@Starcrossed A leftist would not acknowledge that the so called "gun problem" is a behavioral and mental health problem. Of course, if you want to call yourself a "leftist" that's your prerogative. I have nothing against 'old school' liberals. This country owes a debt of gratitude to 'old school' liberals. I just haven't seen very many around lately.
