This is related to confiscating or buying back guns. I used to think, "Wouldn't it be nice if we could get rid of all guns? What if we banned them?", but given the hundreds of millions of guns in America, I know this isn't actually possible and could actually increase crime.https://twitter.com/_cingraham/status/963941287194841088 …

Me neither. But, as NRx types, we can dispense with the idea of a natural right to be armed... so I’d say guns should work more like rental cars, ie if you’re young you better have a clean record and money

Wouldn’t stop Paddock. But a serious attempt to remove illegal guns combined with 100x more stringent rules for < 26 (or so) purchasers would help... I’d say under 26s should need completely clean criminal record, credit score > 700, and maybe a $5k deposit (recoverable when 26)

Sounds like a pretty good idea actually. Really target your restrictions to higher crime demographics.

Exactly. And this is one of those issues where there’s a real opportunity with Trump... just as a lot of right wing normies didn’t really think Iraq could become a democracy, many don’t really think anyone should have a gun... huge untapped market!

Trump was groundbreaking because he could say things that were, contemporaneously, shockingly heretical w/in GOP. A serious and strongly implicitly racist gun control campaign would be a huge game changer.
