Of course now it would be a 357 Magnum or something similar. You cold also find a short stock AR15. Pass a federal law that requires everyone to carry a fire arm.
The GOP has an easy solution and it would up the stock of gun manufacturers and create millions of new American jobs.

(3,208 posts)I could never harm another human being with a gun, but if I had one in my house I know there are times when I get mad enough at the news that I want to shoot the tv.

(37,428 posts)...in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust.
"I do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine, and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore, one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump, and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter."

(1,936 posts)would likely involve much more than six shooters. It would involve RPG's and machine guns for adults, with toddlers carrying 15 shot Glocks 'cuz you never know what is going to happen in a daycare.
