Gross oversimplification, given the current paradigm....

How about, "Stop the Bullets, kill the gun."..because this is what will have to be done to get guns outta the hands of folks in the United States....in cases of re-loaders, they will have to stop gunpowder-

Always keep guns that have calibers manufactured for purposes of war....military rounds will never stop being produced.....

Or, you could be like the Canadians.....they don't need guns to protect their rights.....they simply don't feed their citizens violence.....although, they don't have a history like the U.S. either.....plus it's to goddamn cold for most gang-bangers....

What the hell can be done for Great Britain???? Nothing that another freekin' Dark Ages would not cure.......Get enough sympathy for 13th century religious practice in any country, and you have problems....Bon Jour, Salaam.

(Pssst: I think that was fake blood half way through!)

I remember the Dunblane attack, some whacko killed 16 school children, as well as a teacher and himself. After that, there was a huge tightening of gun laws to stop gun crime, yet apparently we have a gun crime epidemic now. What gives? Has the tighter laws lessened gun crime and today's epidemic would have been considered minor 15 years ago? Or could it be that making things illegal only affects people who care about legality, and if you're prepared to shoot someone, you don't care if getting the pistol is illegal and a bit more difficult?

Great photography, but only poignant superficially and really meaningless. Good art, bad ad.

I'm a firm believer that all potential gun owners should be shot in a non-fatal area before being allowed to purchase one.

Would give 'em a nice first-hand education in the physical and monetary costs of gun violence.

Organized crime, especially those involving the movement of illegal drugs, typically involves guns regardless of legality. Consider why a gang member would want to use a gun registered under his name or connected to him legally in any of his naughty activities. He wouldn't, which is why gang-related gun crimes are almost always not affected by stricter gun control laws.

A good example of this would be major cities in New Jersey (Camden, Newark, Jersey City, etc.) in the past two decades, which have had major crackdowns by the police on gun ownership and very strong additions to gun ownership regulations, but which have not seen pursuant decreases in gun-involved gang violence, but rather an increase in the percentage of such crimes committed with illegally-obtained guns.

If you want to target the problem of gang violence commited with guns, start targetting black-market weapons dealers, not legal gun ownership. If you think all gun ownership is a bad idea for other reasons, then discuss those on their own merit. But this kind of argument conflates the two issues.
