Thanks for steering our opinion over to your state-cheerleading solution, "authorized journalist" Tom Murse. I don't suppose it occurs to you that not all law enforcement professionals agree, and the root of the problem might be misguided and corrupt government policies?

Major "law and order" gun groups need to get off this horse. The no-knock ninja network you establish to enforce prohibition doesn't care what it is that's prohibited. Goring the other guy's ox isn't a solution that will result in freedom.
