Your reasoning for not removing the guns is that it will lead to gun violence. You think they are going to knock on your door? If it ever would come to that, if laws get changed and having assault rifles becomes outlawed I imagine you would get a few 'friendly requests' to bring them in - just like they did in Australia. If you still don't - you're a criminal and should be treated accordingly. I'm sure the government can handle a few nuts with guns who they don't want to give up.

This will create additional loss of life, and I thought that was the problem we need to solve.

There'll be less blood than a few weeks of school shootings.

But keep making up new problems
