Also in my humble opinion, we have to start with America as it is. There are hundreds of millions of firearms in private hands, legally. Banning the weapons in circulation already will put a lot of citizens in the position of having to decide whether to turn in their guns or become criminals. I think we all know that many of them will choose to become criminals. There would be multiple Wacos, for similar reasons, as 'the government coming to get their guns' dovetails with their apocalyptic fears. That's a scenario to be avoided, I think. Whatever is done, we should be very smart about it. If gun proponents hear that AR-15s are going to be banned next month, they'll buy a million more before the legislation passes. That's not good. Whatever is done should be reasonable, gradual, and careful with an eye to anticipating unintended consequences.
The trend however, is for fewer households to own guns, as a percentage of the population. Millions more guns have been sold, but it's due to a smaller percentage of the population owning more guns. On average, gun owners have eight guns, but that's more like a thousand with one or two firearms per hundred with 20 or more. The needle is moving.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
