    Even if they outlawed guns in the US. There would be plenty of them, people would just go down to mexico

      This is a very bad mentality, you can can’t 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

        1. Unlicensed guns exist

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

        3. People with guns disproportionately distrust the government

        4. Police are already over-armed and corrupt

          And?? Where i live we are perfectly fine, it’s a short-term issue

          Police are already over-armed and corrupt

          I expressed myself badly, send them to the police station to be dismantled or re-sold

            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
