'I want to take your guns' [View all]

"Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of all Americans to feel safe." - Senator Dianne Feinstein

"Banning guns is an idea whose time has come." - (then) Senator Joe Biden

"We must be able to arrest people before they commit crimes.
By registering guns and knowing who has them we can do that.
If they have guns they are pretty likely to commit a crime."
- Vermont State Senator Mary Ann Carlson

Senator Feinstein is quick to propose a ban when the right events occur.
Are we making progress in getting the idea across that a ban is a non-starter?
