Gun Laws

The cat's out of the bag on this one and long gone.

The people who commit gun crimes don't give a rat's ass about the laws they are breaking.  Most of them have broken so many of them before they even commit the "massacre" (or whatever word the press assigns to the event)

Obviously adding more laws won't slow people down the slightest bit.

However removing the guns from easy availability would be the only way.

It's a big unfortunate that there's well over 300 million of them in this one country alone so the collecting and destruction of that many items is a staggering proposition!  

For starters you would need to get every gun, even hidden and illegally possessed ones, and all at the same time (the moment when most guns are gone but few still remain would give their possessors a huge advantage when committing crimes.

(And by all I mean ALL -that includes the law and the military -because the "arms escalation" between the civilians and law enforcement is a big part of the reason we have so many guns in America.)

Overall it doesnt sound even possible. just the labor costs alone would be staggering, not to mention trucking and energy costs to do the actual destruction part.  who would pay for the whole process?

Then how would you handle the thousands of gun-related businesses nationwide?  realistic expectations of them all being able to find something else to do and survive off-of is a pipe-dream.  Everyone from the metal suppliers, foundrys, factorys, distributors, retailers would all be affected -if too-big-to-fail was the reason for saving a dead horse like GM then the entire nationwide firearms industry is probably a bigger situation

(Should that industry been allowed to get that big in the first place is a whole 'nother problem in itself!)
