Rather than advance deeper into the police state you seemingly advocate,
might I suggest that since the vast majority of firearms related deaths
involves firearms owned by the governments of the world, and since the vast
majority of privately owned firearms are never used to kill anything, if it
is a reduction in firearms related killing and increased public safety you
want, it would make more sense to disarm all governments and re-arm the
world's citizenry.:-)
