Australia did it. This really is an American problem
Australia didn’t have a hole as deep either.
Your reasoning for not removing the guns is that it will lead to gun violence. You think they are going to knock on your door? If it ever would come to that, if laws get changed and having assault rifles becomes outlawed I imagine you would get a few 'friendly requests' to bring them in - just like they did in Australia. If you still don't - you're a criminal and should be treated accordingly. I'm sure the government can handle a few nuts with guns who they don't want to give up.
There'll be less blood than a few weeks of school shootings.
But keep making up new problems
You're almost there... what do you think the implications of this statement are? How does the US treat criminals? What does the US do to pursue and arrest criminals? Shit... how does the US treat mis-identified people asleep in their own beds during no-knock raids?
Keep working your way through this, you might actually get there!
And now you're making up outcomes.
