When we wise up and ban butter knives?!

This wont end until the firearm factories are forced to give a shit about how many they make and where they end up. This is not about rights or safety for that industry. The do the same thing big oil did in trying to keep lead in gas. The same bullshit the car industry did when Nadar told them their products sucked. The same lobbying big tobacco did to hide the dangers of it's products.

The worst thing the GOP did was pass a federal law making it virtually impossible to sue the makers.

Let's say we stop the legal manufacture and sale of firearms immediately.  Then what?  There will still be guns in the hands of private owners.  Stopping the manufacture of guns would show a slowdown of gun ownership after a time but what do we do until then?

Don't blow a vein over this, I am trying to figure out what's next.

Something needs to be done, of that there is no doubt.  Stopping new guns from being available will take a while to make a difference.

Do we go door to door and search homes and businesses to account for who has what gun(s)?

Do we go for voluntary surrender or at least registration of guns?

Even stopping the manufacture of ammunition isn't going to show up as a downturn for a while.

Do we go for searches/surrenders?

Right now it's not illegal to own a gun (for most people with clean records).  Do we make ownership or possession illegal?

Since it is not illegal to own firearms, can we even do searches and seizures?

What would be the next step after stopping the manufacture?
