So ok, lets roll with that for a minute.

When a murder is committed with a firearm, the reaction by many is to project the actions of criminals onto all firearm owners. "Someone used a gun to kill someone, so the solution is to remove them from the hands of all civilians."

We have entire task forces dedicated to catching and charging disgusting pedophiles online, who distribute and look at their garbage. So, why don't we ban cameras?

If we control the object, we control the crime.

A camera is designed to take a photograph of whatever its pointed at; firearm are designed to fire a projectile at whatever its pointed at. Both have legitimate uses but both can be used for criminal acts. So since a select few of the population misuse an object, the train of thought says we should just ban them and that will fix the problem.

Certain users of cameras can be grandfathered. Store their registered cameras at central storage location, where a permit must be drawn for the camera to be used in a lawful regulated manner. People who do not have a legitimate use for a camera (ie income source) they may posses an antique camera, after taking out an expensive insurance policy and passing extensive background checks and abdicate their right to warrant-less searches. Disposable cameras, polaroid, digital and all cameras with memory storage are prohibited. We will create an amnesty program where you have a 28 day grace period to turn in your cameras for destruction, after that grace period if found with any of the aforementioned prohibited devices, criminal charges will be laid.

How many more children and families must be affected by the disgusting crime of pedophilia, that destroys lives? And the despicable camera nuts who continue to own cameras and enable pedos?

Nobody needs a camera. Best part is, no one has a constitutionally protected right to own a camera so there will be no lengthy drawn out court process and the political will required to undertake such legislation will be minimal.

Control the object, control the crime.

I take it then you have no objection to, say, Muslim Americans owning small yield nuclear devices then?
