Yep......................in home swimming pools, traffic crashes, accidental poisoning, schoolyard accidents, abusive parents, and from a multitude of other causes.
Now, I'm going to fix the gun problem for you. At 8PM I'm going to wave a magic wand and there won't be a single firearm in the United States that isn't in the hands of either the military or the police.
Problem solved. Right?
Wrong. By 9PM the drug cartels in Mexico will have the word that there is an incredible demand for guns in the USA. They will stop smuggling drugs and will switch to smuggling guns. If we can't keep one out it is only logical that we can't keep the other out. Just as we couldn't keep alcohol out during Prohibition.
All of the illegal aliens who are entering the country daily will bring firearms with them as a form of payment for being smuggled in.
By 10PM a thug named Butch will be following a police officer across a mall parking lot towards the officer's police car. He will rush up and strike the officer in the head with an iron pipe, knocking him unconscious.
Butch will take the officer's gunbelt containing his gun, ammunition, Taser, pepper spray, handcuffs and radio. He will also take the keys to the police car so that he can get the AR-15 rifle and ammunition from the trunk of the car.
This will be happening all over the nation as thugs re-arm themselves after my magic wand took their guns.
Smugglers, who are already bold at our borders and often engage our police, will overwhelm the border to bring in and sell their incredibly valuable merchandise.............guns. Border bloodshed will be commonplace.
We will then be at the point in time that has been forseen on millions of bumper stickers over the period of many decades:
"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."
Welcome to reality.
