Is a police state needed to prevent a police state? Being forced to give up some weapons could be a cause for revolt. The situation doesn't change if the mentality remains the same.
Or possibly because it's unconstitutional?
The Brady Bill included NO gun confiscation. Shooting deaths and in fact ALL violent crimes are actually lower than they were 30 years ago. Confiscating guns owned by law-abiding owners is NOT the solution; keeping guns out of the hands of criminals is.
Holy shit, they've made me repeat the NRA's line. Except that I support universal, effective background checks.

                                        Apparently no thought went into how to enforce said law of principle. Just looking to gain votes. It happened in his town. So what. It's no different than any other town and there's still the matter of Black Market sales as fear has increased sales like it does EVERY time the issue of gun control comes up.
Here we go, bloodbaths leading to more Orangeness......
