guns

Getting guns, all guns, out of the hands of citizens

I don't think this is

• realistic
• necessary
• desirable

There are about 50k deaths a year due to guns. That is a lot and we should try to prevent as many as we can. But consider this. There are about 300 million guns legally owned. That's 0.0167% of guns involved in a death.

Interesting this isnt that different than car statistics ~40k deaths with 260 million cars owned.

Now no cars without special dispensation doesn't sound like the worst thing to me, but it also doesn't sound realistic or all that great without like transporter technology.
