1. A ban on ALL guns? How do you propose to make that happen?

The President is going to have a tough time getting an AW ban passed, which ban cosmetic features on certain semiautomatics, and I'd say the odds are heavily against the passage of said law.

Background checks on all gun sales, and really it's best to drop the "gunshow loophole" language. It should cover all private sales. That is something that stands a real chance.
