@scaurus5, whilst it's clear you have good intentions and a good heart, handing over guns to the government (the biggest mass murderer in human history) is not a solution to gun violence. Read @markeverlasting's comment above about government genocide.

If you want the people to be disarmed, do you still want the government and military to keep their guns?

Let me ask you, if a group of men were violently gang raping a woman, and someone offered you a gun, would you shoot the rapists?

Another one: If a foreign army invaded your country, would you want the military to use guns to defend your homeland?
