Again, the point is we’re not even there yet. We can theory craft all we want, and you can poke imaginary holes in every measure taken. And in the end, you will still reach the conclusion of “if it’s not perfect, why try?” and nothing will change.

So, why bother? No matter what solutions someone brings to the table, you will not be satisfied.

I’ve yet to see a solution come to the table. That’s my point. There certainly are plenty of people making claims that it needs to be done, but no one to provide the “how.”

Draw a line in the sand for weapon varieties. For me, that’s semi auto. Allow shotguns, bolt action rifles, etc for practical use and self defense. But any line will be hotly debated.

Ban sales of new ones. Give X years for voluntary surrender of existing ones.

After voluntary window expires, send authorities after registered ones, or just send fines for a while.

Any crime after mandatory kicks in gets multiplied if an illegal gun was in proximity.

Then, time.

Happy? It’s pretty simple to get started. Then iterate when actual problems manifest.

This part doesn’t work with your “solution.” Do you expect the police to enter people’s homes and take their guns?
