ban all guns in the streets

(gun owners can keep them in their house but never outside).

collectors hang on walls
hunters use bow and arrow

and any gun in street dealt with harshley once issue is reframed to make guns part of the war on terror.

Tell our friend there is no difference between Oklahoma city 19 kids dead and this
both should be equal in that both are terrorist events
