    none of the laws you push for have any guarantee of doing that

    what they are guaranteed to do is harass only honest gun owners. which of course is the real goal of your laws

    Prove is a strong word.

    Argue coherently is more applicable.

    Since you effuse to provide any evidence at all for your plan we will have to go with ours which is backed by evidence. Proofs are for math

    Once a law is on the books it is hard to get rid of. This is called repeal when it does somehow happen.

    For example, Slick Willie's assault rifle ban had a sunset clause in it. It then finally sunset.

    Few laws have sunset clauses however.

    There will always be crime, ergo there will always be criminals.

    It would take a Nazi-esque or Stalin-esque purge to get rid of all criminals.

    In the meantime controlling them is nominal at best.

    They commit crimes, they go to jail or prison, they eventually get out, and then they commit more crimes.

    Wheel turning round and round -- just like in the Steely Dan song:

    Everyone should always remember that the U.K. essentially got rid of all guns, and now their society has become a knife culture.

    Crime has not changed.

    Massive crimes are still committed but mostly with home made bombs.

    The probability that you'll be a victim of a gun crime is much higher than that.

    "According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, 467,321 persons were victims of a crime committed with a firearm in 2011.[1] In the same year, data collected by the FBI show that firearms were used in 68 percent of murders, 41 percent of robbery offenses and 21 percent of aggravated assaults nationwide.[2]"
    https://www.nij.gov/topics/crime/gun-violence/pages/welcome.aspx

    "After controlling for other aspects of the surveys, these surveys indicate that criminal gun use is far more common that self-defense gun use. For example, in May 2000, a Washington Post national random-digit dial survey asked 'Not counting military service, have you ever been threatened with a gun or shot at?' Twenty-three percent (23%) said yes."

    Like treating cancer with opioids... it wont solve the violence problem in cities. But it'll make you feel better about it while it gets worse.

    Which, of course, is insane.

    you're wrong of course. your goal is harassing honest gun owners

    why don't you push for laws that actually increase the penalties on criminals?

    I await you plan with peer reviewed evidence. I have shown in states where gun control has been able to reduce gun deaths. Where is your plan working? LOL

    I don't need a plan. I support enforcing the laws that incarcerate real criminals rather than imposing laws that only impact honest citizens. You have not proven that unnamed gun control laws reduce gun deaths. You are all about correlation and pretending causation which is par for your dishonest arguments. Project exile was proven to reduce violent crime. your schemes only work to harass honest people and that is obviously your real goal

    No you don't need a plan. And I don't need to believe you care at all about gun deaths. In fact I know you don't.

    you're just making that up and you pretend that unless we support harassing honest gun owners, we somehow don't care about homicides. IN reality, people like you pretend you care so you can use the deaths of innocents to advance your disgusting jihad against conservative gun owners.

    You have a plan to harass millions of people who don't vote for liberals. You do not care about their rights. You only pretend its to stop crime

    You have no plan at all because you do not care about these lives. You are not part of the conversation to reduce these deaths. You are dismissed
