You continue to say that you have to take the necessary steps to protect your family. This is one such step. Yes, it's nopt perfect, but the idea is tto improve the situation. IF a gun control system can make a serious positive difference in the world, then police will need less arms, and we will have descalation instead of escalation. Descalation is the key to lasting peace and safety. A world wiuth less weapons is more safe, right?

The one very key thing you are forgetting will, is the determination and ingenuity of an american. We are, for the most part, a do it yourself kind of people. At least when it actually comes down to it. People will either want a gun to commit a crime easily or want a gun to defend themselves the best that they can. With that determination, you'd have people making guns out of their own machine shops. No, it would not be assembly line speed and style, nor would it be the same quality, but it would still be a gun.
