Gun control supporters, be honest: Your only effective tool is confiscation
If we want to reduce that number, we have to make firearms less accessible. But look at the size of the problem: In our state alone, more than one-quarter of households own firearms. That’s a lot of guns already in circulation.
How do you reduce the number of guns that people already possess? With a buy-back program? But if you pay someone, say, $250 for an old revolver, what’s to prevent that person from putting the money toward a new semiautomatic handgun?
The only way of making the millions of guns already in the possession of millions of Americans less accessible is with the “C” word: confiscation.
