"Notice that very few are even hinting at banning all firearms, and NO ONE believes it is even possible."

There ya go. Shooting yerself in the foot. Why not support a law that says it is a constitutional right to own guns so that the gunners will support proper regulations to control guns and gun owners.

If ya don't, gun registration and gun owner regulations will be fought tooth and nail by the guuners all the way. The "NRA" ain't gonna let even the "possibility" of a firearm ban and confiscation happen.... and that is their main basis of support. (The Nazis forced firearm registration in the 30s so they could then contol the firearms. Much to the dismay of many.) If the anti-gunners supported a law that absolutely granted the right to own firearms (NOT automatic machine pistols and tanks) then the US could move toward a solution. Until that happens I suggest you stay alert at all times.
