i was being a bit of a snark. my apologies.
my point was just your hypothetical scenario actually supports the idea that buybacks and regulation would limit access to guns, and we both already agreed guns can turn violent situations in to murders.
except nobody talking is about banning anything. decriminalization, regulation, and taxation: this works for drugs, the same scenario works for guns.
obama enacts modest changes to slightly slow down gun trafficking. when people react as if he was swooping down to melt your guns into socialist freedom chains, it undermines your arguments.
