in fact gun control is meaningless. we need to repeal the 2nd
amendment and ban guns completely

At least you are being honest now. How do you think that would work
out? Is the government going buy them all or are you repealing the
5th
amendment too.

you use the daniel patrick moynahan method. guns would be illegal.
you shut down gunsmiths, make the sale of ammo illegal, etc. over time
guns, being a mechanical object, would start to disappear as parts
became unavailable, no now guns entered the system, etc.

you destroy the gun culture along with the guns.

You would just drive the ammo market underground. That has been so
successful in the drug war hasn't it?

when people inject ammo into their veins you be sure and let me know.
when ammo becomes a psychoactive chemical, drop me a note.

People don't inject marijuana into their veins but a lot of people die
because it is illegal.
You only have to look at "prohibition" to see the problem with banning
anything.

In real life the people who use the most ammo are not the ones who
cause the problem.-

risk/benefit calculation. value of guns: zero

cost to society of their use: billions.

I could say the same thing about golf, recreational boats or
motorcycles, what's your point?

they should be banned.

Again, name me one thing that became unavailable because it was
banned? Just one.
All "banning" does is create a criminal enterprise to provide
something.

You're wrestling with a pig here.

Better than wrestling with you, a stump. You don't even qualify as a
dining room table.
