Mikes547 It is more than highly unlikely that the private ownership of firearms will ever be relinquished in this country. Our history, myths, and culture are all based on the conquering of a wilderness with firearms. Our laws have written firearms into them at the highest level (2nd amendment) such that they will never be changed. But all of that is beside the point of this article which was talking about making the country safer and not gun free. As long as the political arguments are over banning firearms there will be no movement on this issue. We can continue to waste our breath and go nowhere, or we can try something else that has a chance to work. Everyone is for safety and that is the place to start. Healthcare and safety can generate small incremental improvements that taken together can save tens of thousands of lives and change our entire culture. And this approach is not hitting a brick wall. The road is open in front of this approach.
