Comment on US problems require US solutions

Even if they outlawed guns in the US. There would be plenty of them

This is a very bad mentality, you can progress like this; They can just send a mail to everyone who has a gun permit and ask them to give the gun to the nearest police station or to apply tto get the new gun permit within a 15 days deadline

This is an insane take. You have no idea how much violence this approach would cause as you confirm almost every gun owners worst fears and play right into the part of playing a tyrannical government.

You are coming off as super privileged here if you think handing over all the guns to the cops is a good idea.

Unlicensed guns exist

Trump’s appointee has gutted the USPS (in order to screw up vote-by-mail but it affects everything)

People with guns disproportionately distrust the government

Police are already over-armed and corrupt

    There’s a lot of unlicensed guns in every part of the US, which is the place being discussed. Probably more than you realize wherever you live too . So my point is that your oh-so-simple solution is inadequate
