No gun control measure short of universal confiscation...

There are nearly 300 million privately owned firearms in the United States today. This fact, all on its own — without considering any constitutional or political obstacles — means that the ship sailed on gun control long ago, never to return.
No gun control measure short of universal confiscation would do anything to curb shootings in this lifetime. And the prospect of rounding up 300 million guns from some 60 million households makes the deportation of 11 million illegal immigrants seem like a simple matter of arranging a field trip.

Seems like a winning 'elevator argument' to me.

Wasn't there a SCOTUS interpretation a couple years ago that criminals could not be required to register their firearms as that would be self incrimination, which can not be required under the 5th Amendment?

Mine have done an excellent job of that so far. Not one of them have gone on any kind of rampage or spree yet.

Wait so your telling me that guns are not evil and will not go mass shooting sprees by themselves. I have just been living in fear of my evil gun going on a rampage by itself because of all the news stories out their blaming the gun not the person.(End Sarcasm)
Cool video and hopefully one day everyone will blame the person instead of the tool...

What!? I'm really confused. I could never figure out which handgun was the best so I locked a bunch up about a week ago and figured the best one would have killed the rest in some sort of blood sport/gladiator kill off. You telling me they are all just sitting there?

I love how he tortured it with the lock and sights.
