85. And can you tell me a "fucking simple" way to "get rid of guns"?
It's too late. 200 million guns in this country. Billions of rounds of ammunition. There is no feasible way to "get rid" of guns short of kicking people's doors down and searching their homes. If you make them illegal, and madate turning them in, criminals keep them, and use them without fearing the liquor store clerk is armed.

So no, it's not "fucking simple." You'll never hear a politician say "It's too late" though. Even though that's the reality, it's not exactly soaring campaign rhetoric.
