58. Please explain.
State how a handgun ban could be accomplished in the United States. State how it would be implemented, how existing civillian owned handguns would be confiscated and how current legal owners of handguns would be compensated financially for the loss of their property. Also state how you would finance refunding any money paid for licenses in states where a permit is required for ownership of a handgun, and also refunding money paid for the application for a concealed deadly weapons permit in states that allow for such permits. Also demonstrate that a handgun ban would in fact prevent killings, and that murderers who used handguns would not instead use a different implement for murder in numbers sufficient to offset any anticipated reduction in handgun murders. Also explain how you would prevent contraband handguns from being smuggled in from outside the country, from being harbored by individuals who refuse to comlpy with the ban or from stashes stolen from police officers.
