Why gun control cannot work: I’m not sure why the left can’t understand this. The more gun control you pass, the fewer law abiding people able to defend themselves. The criminals? They’ll be armed.
The only thing that will reduce the risk of gun crime to the extent that progressives want is to amend the constitution to make it possible for the government to confiscate all guns and do this by going into people's homes and other private spaces to find the guns and remove them.
Confiscation of guns will greatly reduce the most common forms of gun crime and death -- suicides, gang violence, family and acquaintance conflict. Big events like the mass murder in Las Vegas will still take place because people with the kind of determination shown by Stephen Paddock will find ways to get the guns. It's illegal for people to possess explosives, but terrorists still find ways to get them. It's the same with automatic weapons.
