    Coincidentally, i don’t need anything to defend myself where i live because all weapons are illegal to carry in public, i can carry chilli pepper spray but that’s it

      Even if they outlawed guns in the US. There would be plenty of them, people would just go down to mexico

        This is a very bad mentality, you can can’t progress like this; They can just send a mail to everyone who has a gun permit and ask them to give the gun to the nearest police station or to apply tto get the new gun permit within a 15 days deadline

          1. Unlicensed guns exist

          2. Trump’s appointee has gutted the USPS (in order to screw up vote-by-mail but it affects everything)

          3. People with guns disproportionately distrust the government

          4. Police are already over-armed and corrupt

            And?? Where i live we are perfectly fine, it’s a short-term issue

            Police are already over-armed and corrupt

            I expressed myself badly, send them to the police station to be dismantled or re-sold

              There’s a lot of unlicensed guns in every part of the US, which is the place being discussed. Probably more than you realize wherever you live too . So my point is that your oh-so-simple solution is inadequate
