I don't believe in social darwinism for *people* but societies? the evidence is pretty clearly in favor

Do you think regular police should have guns?

fewer of them should. traffic cops do not need to be packing

the first time a cop gets shot during a traffic stop the rest of the cops (or not-cops) are going to riot. they're also the first line of defense when shit goes down because when there's a shooting, the nearest responding cops are all going to be traffic cops.

What do you think should happen to all those civilian owned guns?

the answer of what I think should happen and what is politically possible even in extraordinary circumstances are not the same

What do you think is the most that is politically possible?

maybe preventing new sales or creating a national firearms registry? you're not confiscating guns. of any type. that's a thing that's never going to happen, ever

my theory has always been an *extravagantly expensive* buyback program, (while also making certain configurations flatly illegal.) literally throw money at the problem. (and yes, its basically reparations for gun owners, but also what the fuck is money for, ya know)

If it worked to end slavery in Britain, I'm sure it can work to drastically reduce the number of loose guns! Although I don't think the US should get rid of all guns - there are bears etc. after all.

It would take decades. It's not entirely impossible, but it won't happen within our generation. It will take multiple generations of kids growing up where their only interactions with guns are their grandpa's old rifle in his safe that he's never gotten out in front of them.
