Sorry James, I don't know how that can work. It has been tried to get to that point with all the changes since 1934. The criminals & mentally incompetent are not succumbed to the law, so it has no effect.
The only way that I can see is to set boundaries for behavior & severely punish people who do wrong with a firearm & leave all the innocent out of it.
If wrong doers have no respect, then teach it.

I agree with much of what you posted. In a free Country this is the only viable approach. Even if the socialists could get their dream legislation, complete and total confiscation, only law abiding citizens would comply. We have to come up with a way of controlling availability to the criminal and the insane.
Universal Concealed carry so these types of individuals wouldn't know where resistance was coming from would be a step in the right direction.

The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.
