You'll never get rid of weapons period. The police and military will never ever turn them in. That in and of itself prevents individual citizens from ever turning theirs in. Remember the Warsaw Ghetto uprising? There hasn't been some big repeal on tyrants and criminals. Ban guns? How about swords? How about knives? There is no end.

In fact, some mass shootings have been stopped by armed citizens. Though press accounts downplayed it, the 2002 shooting at Appalachian Law School was stopped when a student retrieved a gun from his car and confronted the shooter. Likewise, Pearl, Miss., school shooter Luke Woodham was stopped when the school's vice principal took a .45 fromhis truck and ran to the scene. In February's Utah mall shooting, it was an off-duty police officer who happened to be on the scene and carrying a gun.
