Quantity Has a Quality All Its Own

There are an estimated 434 million firearms in civilian possession in the United States. [More]

I wonder if it would be cheaper to go to Mars than to try and collect them all.

It would certainly be healthier.

  1. I suspect very few if any of these guns were purchased with hard earned money in a time of great government created economic uncertainty with the intent of just handing them to Gun Czar O'Rourke's minions on National Gun Safety Day.

    Based on results achieved here and abroad, I suspect voluntary compliance will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 20%.

    If the respective government(s) want the rest, they're going to have to find them and confiscate them by threat of or actual use of force. Estimates have been run on just how many cops that would take, with the result that no government appeared to have enough cops even before this past summer's riots and calls to defund the police generated unprecedented waves of retirements, resignations, and inability to attract recruits.
