How many manufacturers of guns and bullets are there in the nation?

[graham4anything]

19. with a change in the law, a little tweak here or there...

even if the tweak is only to stop international shipments
and maybe that is somehow possible

it is theoretically possible to put a ring around the whole industry

it would be akin to grandfathering in for now, all existing, but well, sorry, end of story would be no future legalally manufactured.

then one can go and rid the infestation of the grandfathered in.

hmmm
one ringydingy to mike
two ringydingy to mike

(and don't forget, it's not just mike. He has other donees to the funds and it could be continuous

If they can stop guns at the international borders, why not stop bullets and guns at the state borders.
Surely they can also tweak postal rules(as the gov't runs the post office and can limit private shippers

and if somehow a new law can make it ok to keep guns from crossing certain state borders
it theoretically can do something

For the street criminals, it will change their habit if there are then more harsher laws.

For the status seekers, thrill seekers it will push them to find another status item

Most people do not want to be in jail for decades I would think

You can easily with funding solve the problems in neighborhoods and those problems are not as worrysome crimewise anyhow, as the mass shooter is.

All it takes is a little funding, a little looking outside the box, and a few tweaks of the law here, a few new interpretations of the law there, a new law or two
and voila

like smallpox, we can put a major ring around it and someday file it CURED.

I wonder if guns have killed more people in the USA history, than smallpox.
And nobody wants small pox to be around.
Small pox kills.
But so do guns.

Both are epidemics.
one eradicated, but one is vigilant so it never comes back
one needs to be.

imho feel free to disagree.
