The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There, I didn't take away a single gun. - CO

-----------------

Some of your proposals I agree with, others fall into the category that albaby was speaking about. Reduce the overall level of gun ownership in the law abiding population by making it increasingly difficult to acquire one.

If we implemented everything you suggest, criminals will still get them and since private ownership still exists, the suicidal can still access one, same with the spouse abusers and road ragers. But having implemented your list would you be satisfied or would additional burdens on private ownership be justified as gun deaths continue albeit at a reduced rate?

I claim you would not be satisfied and additional regulations would be layered on, leading to a spiral that can only end with total elimination. If there is in fact a stopping point, please describe it.
