How about all the anti-gunners donate to a non-profit organization to buy guns from gun owners (for destruction)? I think Bloomberg and Soros could easily seed that fund.
I may have missed something on that "Bloomberg and Soros" reference...

Yes, it's the taxpayer that has to pay... of course... anything country-wide must be implemented with tax-payers money.... it's the same everywhere.
It was the taxpayer who allowed people to own those guns in the first place.
It's the taxpayer who finances many gun factories... sounds like a futile waste of money, doesn't it?
