And let's not forget that the era of mass shooting started and has grown in direct proportion to the number of guns in circulation.  We will have to remove a huge number of them at some point, and it won't be pretty when we do.

Actually, there is quite a bit of evidence. I'm a big fan of Dr. Thomas Sowell's work on this topic. A level headed voice in a sea of zealotry around a contentious topic.

I am very much NOT a fan of Thomas Sowell.
