it's a mistake to over simply the problem of gun violence by responding in a solution of outlawing firearms. Take a look at the nations drug legislation and you'll see it does very little to curb drug activity. Shit, drug abuse is not only high in illegal substances but also prescription / so called controlled substances.
also look at nations that do outlaw guns, they too have gun violence. why isnt that number zero? people are simply going to use guns.
the problem is deeper than "take'em guns away" and most advocacies don't even offer real world logistical solutions. look, the guns are already out there, making them illegal or forcing voluntary incentives is a 100 year late response.
i've think the solution is in the ammo. since the guns are already in circulation, why not track the bullets (rfid) the technology is possible and in use in other industries. (as in tracking individual units instead of or/with lots) today, you can buy up to 1 metric ton of ammunition without having federal involvement and even after that ton you can circumvent most federal interviews.
it's the lobbist we must confront.
