of firearms dealers are responsible for a hugely disproportionate number
of guns used in crimes--why aren't we paying closer attention to those
dealers? Why are such dealers who are occasionally shut down able to sign
over the business to a family member or business partner and go on selling
guns?

I'm pretty sure his suggestion to remove all guns would start addressing the
problem by eliminating guns supplied by gun dealers including their ability
to transfer the business to someone else.

No one ever said that removing all guns would be easy or fast. And most
certainly, if it was attempted, attrition over time, a long time, would be
part of the process. You've expressed your views on handling guns and drugs,
a view that's sometimes shared by others. My only comment there is that like
Han and those that feel the opposite, I'm not a believer that legalizing
something that appears uninforceable by any other means is the only viable
solution. In the short term it may cause so much havoc that society might
not recover. We each have our own beliefs and have discussed these subjects
many times, before. I doubt anybody is likely to change their opinions now.
