12. I would like us take a UK type solution where gun owners keep their
guns at gun clubs, and even policeman don't carry weapons.
That is never going to happen here.
You would be hard pressed to get a majority of DUers to support legislation let alone the average Joe.
America has a full blown gun fetish and to try and confront that you are simply wasting political capital that could be used elsewhere, and you still are not going to get anything passed. The reality is that for too many people it is the single issue that they really care about.
We should also admit that the NRA has atleast one good point; There are a lot of gun laws already on the books that are not enforeced. Before we go back to any new laws we should effectively enforce the ones that are already on the books.
