It is actually a three stage plan.
1) Repeal The Posse Comitatus Act
2) Ban all legally purchased civilian guns.
3) Put federal troops on every street corner in every town and city.
Now granted this has some drawbacks, becoming a police state and all, but hey, considering the absurdly stubborn stand anti gun proponents have taken, this seems to be the only logical solution.
Here's a slightly modified idea -
#1 - yep, I agree with that.
#2 - change that to include ALL guns, legal or otherwise.
#3 - why bother with that? If there aren't the dangers with so many guns around, the odinary policeman can patrol his beat properly and efficiently.
And as I've said in another thread, there are those who will create hell because they can't go target shooting or hunting. Let them justify just one or two appropriate guns to do that with and let them keep the guns locked in a secure safe at the club.
And by 'appropriate', I mean a single-shot or semi-auto rifle. a similar hand gun or a shotgun.
Effectively, nobody would be allowed to keep guns at home.
Hunting? Go get the guns from the club, sign them out, sign a release certificate, go hunting, sign the gun back in at the club. Maximum of 5 days.
The police wouldn't need guns either - for most crimes they can chase the criminals and use their night-sticks and handcuffs.
Anyone caught with a gun without having a valid release certificate - instant arrest and 6 months in jail with no parole; the gun would be destroyed. Nobody goes hunting in the towns or cities so anyone caught with a gun within 2 miles of the town/city limits - same sentence.
Nasty critters in your garden??
Ring your local wildlife centre, zoo or local sheriff to come and deal with it.
There is no need to shoot it so no guns are necessary no matter where you live.
The only place you should ever see any other type of gun would be inside a military establishment.
The main and essential difference between that solution and what you have now is that no guns are allowed anywhere in/on the streets and you won't be allowed to keep guns at home.
That would also kill any problems with what safe to have for guns at home or how far your responsibility goes if they are stolen - quite simply, you shouldn't have guns at home, not even an air rifle!
There... problem solved.
No 'police' state.
No infringement of the 2nd.
No guns on the streets.
People can still legally own licensed guns for specific purposes.
Police wouldn't be afraid of raiding known gangs either.
Customs can still x-ray all imports to stop guns coming into the country.
The gun manufacturers can still make guns and keep some people employed.
Total destruction of the 2nd
