And yet you keep reading my comments. When you can't debate someone, ignore is the best place for them, right Jimmy?
Really. Market value of the guns, eh? You do realize you're talking about half a trillion $$ or so, at the very least, right? That's just rifles out there. OH yeah,. sure, that'll get passed. When you say "plain old hand guns, not semi-automatic"...do you even know what semi-automatic is? Or are you saying everyone has to have old revolvers? Nitro, please tell me what an assault rifle is, in your world. Then, please explain why it is more dangerous than, say, a bolt action hunting rifle. ROFL...
Really? A tiny fraction? Do you have any idea whatsoever about what you're talking? What is an AR, Nitro?
"Every single rifle is semi-automatic" Couldn't be farther from the truth. E.G.: http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/centerfire/336c.asp The Marlin 336 is a classic hunting rifle for big game. i.e. bear, deer, moose...etc. I have a 336 30-30 in my closet. It only holds 6 shots and cannot be used to massacre large numbers of people. Several manufacturers make the same sort of gun. It is all the firepower you need to hunt big game. For each shot you have to crank the lever. No spraying allowed. Bears typically don't come in groups and try to kill you. Assault style weapons are made for killing large numbers of people efficiently. There is no other rationale for such a weapon and it does not belong in civilian hands. I'm not sure it belongs in police hands. It's a military weapon.
Fully auto weapons are already banned without a special license (very difficult to get). No automatic weapons are sold in ANY gun store to someone cleared to own a firearm without a special class of weapon license. The vast, vast majority of AR stock weapons are Semi Automatic. That means you press the trigger, one shot is fired. This is what I'm talking about when I say you're essentially speaking nonsense.
So how would you get the hundreds of millions of weapons, and the millions of illegal ones off the street?
