4. Why yes, yes it would.

The number one type of gun used in homicides, suicides and accidental shootings is a pistol and semi auto pistols are the vast majority of pistols in circulation at present.

That still leaves revolvers that can carry up to 8 rounds, maybe more for small caliber .22s. If you can't defend yourself and your home with 8 rounds of 9mm you aren't qualified to have a gun.

The 'step too far' has been the downfall of attempted legislation. There is no way to accommodate the 2nd Amendment crowd so I say we simply stop trying.

Australia succeeded. We can too if we just elect representatives with courage and service.
