And if the rate doesn't go down how do we collect on that guarantee? How much of a drop will we see? What if at some point it goes back up? Do we collect then?
If I get a guarantee - I want specifics....
1. If the rate doesn’t go down, you’ll get your guns back.
2. The most recent figures I can find on homicides by firearm (leaving out suicide and accidents) in the US is 4.46/100 000 population. Adopting either the Scandinavian or Oceania model of gun control should lower that to 0.5 or less. If it doesn’t, you get your guns back.
3. If the new rate returns to the old rate, you’ll get your guns back, plus a voucher for 1000 rounds of ammunition (calibre TBNL).
Specific enough?
