Guns. Can't get rid of 'em, so... What next?

IMO, the gun control lobby and popular support for personal gun carry are here to stay in the USA. So if you can't ban them, can you at least make them less lethal while still providing the protection that gun advocates think they have?

i.e. Will we be setting phasers on stun any time in the foreseeable future?

    nope, liberal will protest phasers

    just like they protest stun guns and tasers

    liberals had the first tasers classiified in the same category as machine guns

    I think we have it about right. I would never take my Grandpop's "baby", his three shot semiautomatic deer rifle, from him. But I'd take away flamethrowers, high explosives, fully automatic guns, and of course, WMD's, from the common folk, figuratively speaking. On the other hand, the argument that we need our semiautomatic rifles to have 100 round magazines so we can beat the federal government in a direct showdown is pitiful. Would that famous courageous Chinese man, who tried to face down a tank in the days of the massacre, have done any better if he had a semiautomatic rifle in his hands?

    ===STRAW MAN ALERT===

    Phony Argument: The only way to change gun laws is to ban all guns.

    Real Argument: Reasonable restrictions on the purchase and usage of firearms such as mandatory background checks and mandatory safety classes and competency tests, and mandatory police reporting of gun thefts do not constitute gun bans and can improve safety.
