70. House to house search and seizure is our only hope

Wed Dec 26, 2012, 10:41 PM

Dec 2012

That is the ONLY way to get guns out of the hands of private citizens.

It's messy and ugly, and the Constitution will have to be modified or suspended, but is there really another solution?

Some people may resist, and undoubtedly quite a few innocents will die or be hurt in the process, but at least, in 10 to 20 years, the murder rate will be a fraction of what it is now.

Break out the battering rams and armored entry vehicles - the police have a job to do that doesn't involve arresting potheads.
