Communist Gun Control
Thanks for that.

I guess I have trouble seeing Afghanistan in 1979, with no defence against an invading Soviet army, as being equivalent to the USA in 2013. You have an army. And no Soviet threat on the border. But on top of that, the Afghans didn't have guns according to the link, they made them once they were invaded. So having guns wasn't the deciding factor, knowing how to use them was.

But back to the question. Why is it all or nothing? The link doesn't provide a reason for gun controls turning into a program of 100% confiscation. It just says that confiscating all guns is a bad idea. OK, agreed. But just who proposing gun controls is proposing confiscation of all guns?
