More honestly -- you will stay in the fantasy realm. Nearly all of our gun violence is caused by a very small percentage of the population......that segment known as criminals. Given that less than 2% of all guns will ever be used in violent crime -- much less murder -- you're facing a serious needle-in-the-haystack dilemna.
Even if we could accomplish the absolutely impossible, and reduce the number of guns in the nation by half, that would still be much more than enough to supply the small criminal element with guns. But keep pushing for the insane, while you push citizens to vote GOP.
