    Joe can’t outlaw guns. He does not make laws, and the SCOTUS, would overturn any executive order trying something like that.

    Many lives would be saved because that would mean that handguns and knives would be outlawed and they are used to commit the large % of murders.  According to the FBI most recent statistics in 2017 Handguns were used in 7032 murders, knives were used in 1591 and rifles were used in 403.  https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in...

    None. People will just switch to a .30 cal carbine. Effective range 300 yards. About 6lbs in weight, very light. Easy to shoot. And with the folding stock. It easily fits in a back pack.

    People making home made bombs are not exactly law abiding.

    Over a 10 year period about 5 million American lives will be saved.
