Would it be fair to say that if you want to ban something...

4. I am someone who would be quite happy to ban all guns.

I understand that's not very likely to happen.

But in my response to the OP, the object of the ban was not defined at all. So I do think my original response is valid. And has nothing to do whatsoever with my own personal, and not very popular willingness to ban guns.

I addressed the original statement about banning something was very general, and didn't address guns at all. I did understand, given that this post was in the Gun Control forum, that guns were being addressed. And therefore I'll cheerfully repeat my original response:

If you actually want to ban something, you ban it.

Of course, if you really don't want to ban whatever, the loopholes are a good idea.

If you, those who read this post, are in favor of guns being available, not being banned, then you either won't want legislation at all, or want lots of loopholes. I'm not arguing with you on this topic. I'm simply agreeing about loopholes. Honest.
