Seriously...let's even put the politics aside for a second. Let's pretend the next President implements no more semi automatic rifles.
Exactly how do you get back approximately 100 million plus guns back? A buy back system cannot be implemented. The experts all agree it would put this country in financial ruins
Aren't all these guns not registered since 1989 anyway? People wouldn't even stop downloading music illegally despite getting letters of jail time and fines of $300k but you expect people to give up their guns for free because evil people who are going to inevitably do evil things prefer automatic rifles?
Are we just going to pretend this is a gun problem or acknowledge when a human being decides to kill themself but wants to take fellow human beings with them that it's an extremely dangerous and inevitable situation? Simply looking at gun statistics in other countries ignores the mass killings that are going on within those countries.
Also don't forget the US is the third largest country in the world so please don't use fucking Australias violence numbers with ours. We have more people in California than Australia
Did everyone forget how easily Timothy Mcveigh filled a rental truck with basic stuff and blew up a hospital and killed 168 people with 500 injuries?
So my question is this. How exactly can you even get these guns back at this point?
The same way they took them from the jews when they ran NAZI Germany
Immediately following the „
Machtergreifung“ in 1933, the weapon laws of the Weimar Republic were used to disarm Jews, or to use the excuse of "searching for weapons" as a justification for raids and searches of homes. Because the weapons law of 1928 gave the police the authority to issue or withdraw weapon permits, Jewish weapon owners were disarmed through warrants issued by the police. For instance, the president of the police of Breslau enacted an order on 21 April 1933 which stated that Jews had to give their weapons and shooting permits to the police immediately. After the Jewish population was judged as not to be trusted, no weapon permits were issued to them anymore.
[2]
The weapons law was also used for searches of homes and raids. The preface for that was the allegation that the victims of these searches stored large amounts of weapons and ammunition. A prominent example is
Albert Einstein, whose summer residence in
Caputh, near the
Schwielowsee was searched in spring 1933. The only item found there was a
bread knife.
[3] Raids, for instance on 4 April 1933 at the
Scheunenviertel in
Berlin, also took place. Not only many weapons were found, but also a lot of publications that included criticism of the Nazi regime. Sometimes, Jews without residence permits were also found and arrested.
Starting in 1935, the
Gestapo prevented the issue of weapon permits and weapon purchase permits to Jews.
[2] The police authorities were the executing authorities, and had to comply with the orders issued by the Gestapo. The self-defense of Jews was abolished and they were subjected to the arbitrariness and terror of the police authorities, without the need to introduce a new law for this.
Directly after the
Kristallnacht, the possession of any weapons by Jews was prohibited through the
Verordnung gegen den Waffenbesitz der Juden, enacted on 11 November 1938 (RGBl. I, 1573).
A contemporary report of the apostolic nuntius of Berlin to
Eugenio Pacelli about the Kristallnacht stated: „Also, all weapons were taken from the Jews; and even though the purpose of that was altogether different, it was good, because the ideation of suicide must have been enormous in some.
