Most of the gun owners would be in jail then- and how would the country pay for that? Jails are already overcrowded. And a threat like '5 years in jail to whomever doesn't fork over their guns would be considered totalitarian. Something like that
would cause a revolution.
Look- I get the point. Guns are bad. Hand guns and assault weapons are not necessary. But people who don't live here don't understand that Americans were always given 'the right to bear arms' (however you want to decipher it) as a basic right in the Constitution and there is no way that they are going to give up their guns. It just isn't going to happen. Not saying it's right or wrong, just stating a basic fact.
