I'm fine with that. Overall, I think that it is an overblown issue, so go ahead with it.

Now tell me, how many of the firearms used in mass murders were acquired that way? How many deaths will your solution prevent?

While your solution sounds nice, and would be very symbolic, I don't think that it will solve the issue like mass confiscation would.

Can anyone answer why there has been an increase in mass shooting over the last 20 years? Perhaps we should start there, then figure out a solution because guns are a constant variable in the equation. There is something else going on that we need to zero in on.
