joseph robinette brandon will say "give up your guns" and then everybody will politely line up and hand over things worth as much as a car with no or fractional compensation, and then we'll all hold hands and sing songs together
I’m curious how the author thinks guns will be reclaimed and destroyed without giving more money and guns to the police
Australia and Japan managed it with a significantly smaller police budget than we're spending now.
A lot really does just boil down to strangling manufacturing and commercial sale. Most owners don't take care of their guns, so the outstanding stock declines in usefulness over time. Ammo goes bad after about seven years. Lots of mass shooters are young and don't have immediate access to firearms when they initially develop the inclination to go on a rampage. Restricting manufacture and sale will drive up the price and limit access by economic power.
From a liberal technocratic perspective, there are a whole host of measures we could enact that would "bend the curve" on gun ownership until owners become too marginal to affect public policy. We do to gun ownership what Republicans have done to abortion rights and tax policy.
Of course, this all runs contrary to what Leftist Revolutionaries and Anarchists would like. Restricting ownership to a handful of wealthy and powerful organizations sounds absolutely awful, if you believe the modern American state is actively undermining and opposing leftist organizations.

Couldn't even figure out who that was for a second. We've done horrors to that man's name

Legitimately the Robinette made me think it was some french guy. Didn't associate his middle name with "Joe Biden"
i mean his name literally is "joseph robinette biden", all they did was substitute the stupid brandon thing
this one's on his parents
Yeah it's just he campaigned as Joe Biden so it confused me lol

A country flush with firearms makes acquisition a smidge easier than one where only a handful of ranking bureaucrats can issue them.
Flooding a country with weapons is often a prelude to armed revolt.
