I mean, what could possibly go wrong? It really is time for the United States to take a step back and disarm. And when I say disarm, I mean disarm everyone, including the police with their tanks and armored personnel carriers. Things are on the verge of getting out of control.

The problem with disarming (and I'm not disagreeing with you that it needs to happen) is the age old question/risk of "who first?"
