Some of the things people suggest we ban don't actually make the gun any more deadly or can be gotten around or jerry rigged. You also can't ban guns.


One thing I did see online that made me wonder was questioning what system is in place to monitor people who buy a large amount of guns. There's a facebook post going around comparing it to how monitor people buying over the counter drugs in an effort to prevent them from making other drugs. Is this something we already do? Do you think it would be effective?

Well that starts the "slippery slope" argument.  If the government knows what you own they can come and take it away from you.  That's what I've been told.

Also we can't keep track of gun violence and study it.

Because, uh, slippery slope?  I dunno.
