Give up my guns?

Of course no one is seriously proposing to get all, or even most, firearms out of public hands. It's only a few very specific types of firearms that some are proposing be removed from the retail and private market, while a buyback program for these same guns is instituted. We can discuss the practicality of such proposals later. Regardless, any proposal that is being seriously considered has to be compatible with the Second Amendment as interpreted by the Supreme Court. As such, these proposals would leave millions of guns in private hands. Nevertheless, after some time, a decade say, the virtual disappearance of specific types of guns would be expected. As a result access to these types of guns would become very difficult. For all practical purposes access would be denied. You just wouldn't be able to get them without taking huge risks and going to a great deal of trouble.

Just curious. Where do you come up with the decade as the amount of time the "virtual disappearance" would occur? What science or data are you getting your assumptions from?

Sorry, could you expand on your overly verbose posting? What does "or guns" mean? Should we execute people for possession of firearms, too? Is that what you are advocating?

Here4money? You seemed to have vanished.

Right, but as I pointed out, they impose the death penalty for drug usage. Should we do the same? Is that what you are advocating?

It's a simple question. Even for you.

You need to read up on gun control for China and Singapore if my answer is so hard to understand

Or you could actually speak clearly so we can have a debate. But it is likely you will get owned again in doing so, which is probably why you continue to be so obscure and try for the ol' Ricter Riddle.

China and Singapore don't have hundreds of millions of firearms in circulation, so you can't say that gun control in either country would be the same as the United States. Same with drugs.

So what is it you are trying to say? I'm sure its quite worthless, but lets see if you can make any point whatsoever that holds any water at all.

You got it! Yet another example of Here4money trying to do a drive-by snark, only to fall on his face when asked for any substantial information or to back up the snark. I'll continue to try to get him to debate, though. No better weapon to use on a troll.

the point is to dispel this silly, recurring notion that gun control "like drugs" cannot work, by giving real world examples of showing it working.

You haven't shown it is silly at all. Your real world examples are worthless for comparison purposes. I suspect you know this, which is why the only thing you've done is "drive by" snarky posting. Drug trafficking and use is punishable by death in the countries you mentioned. So I'll ask you again - are you advocating the death penalty for drug trafficking and use here in the United States? You seem to want to ignore that question (shocking). Because if you don't threaten to kill people for the crime, you can't say "it works there, why cant we do it here?"

Same with guns. Neither China nor Singapore have hundreds of millions of firearms on the street. Neither one has a protection in their Constitution for the Right to Bear Arms. So unless you're talking about imposing the death penalty for possession of firearms, this comparison is also bullshit.

Are you suggesting we put people to death for possessing either drugs or guns?
