#1 This sounds like a swell idea.

However, just to prove how much you believe in this lets first have all officials, and politicians go completely without protect, no secret service, no armed guards (public, LEO, or private) no arms of any kind (including knives), no bodyguards, nor armored cars or trucks. No-one around you may be armed in any way. And that goes for your children s well - no private security (or even a wall or locked door - you also believe in open borders right?) at any schools or functions where you children attend. And yes - I mean to include your children - if you are going to endanger mine - then yours should be included also.

That goes for the media elite and advocates as well - the producers, reporters, editors owners, and anchors of the media - print, radio, web, TV - all of it.

Do this for 2-3 years.

Then lets talk.

Otherwise STFU - your not serious.

#2 Nation was born with guns and free speech. Those that can't take it should go elsewhere. Nobody is stopping them.

#3 "if we started talking more honestly about the most logical, long-term goal"

YES, why do you not start talking bout that very thing.

When I pull my control counsel up, I map VIOLENT CRIME RATES - and that is the real only thing that counts to me.

If Guns are the way to Life, you need to shut your trap.

A liberal free society would always work better. This way, we don't have to call your bankrupt state for help with thugs it takes you an hour to handle.

Go take a long walk on a short pier.

Your accusations that I AM micro-aggressive show me that you are crypto-fascist, and THAT is more of a threat to Lives than guns ever were.

#4 We already have a gun free society in which only state agents bear arms. They're called prisons. By the way Sunshine, there's still murder, rape, assault, and drug dealing. Maybe if you take your head out of your rectal orifice, you discover the problem isn't guns, but elements within your society, like every society, and every time in history.

#5 If the Government/police/army goes first and in his area.

#6 A gun-free society feeds into the meme of the left. First, it will never be achieved. The government, criminals and terrorists will be the only ones with guns. The 2nd amendment was not about hunting, it was about defending liberty. First the left wants national registration. The next step will be confiscation. Before confiscation occurs, I anticipate a widespread civil war, gun owners and lovers of liberty vs. the lefties.

#7 Finally, a refreshing admission of the true end-goal from a gun control advocate. And, perhaps, an unwitting vindication of the NRA's contention that their floundering "incremental approach" is indeed the proverbial slippery slope. Remember this authors' words everytime you hear someone championing "modest" gun control laws a "common sense" first step.

#8 The "gun show loophole" is a myth. If you by a firearm from a vendor at a gun show you still have to show a valid ID, have your fingerprints taken, and pass a background check. Some states bar sales in the parking.

#9 What Deacon said; anyone saying otherwise is lying or willfully ignorant - both are thieves. Both are immoral.

Without guns — with only kitchen knives at hand — some of those people would die. Most would still be living.
