103. I agree that door to door confiscations wont happen but we can capture many of these guns by using.
confiscation of firearms as part of the sentence, if the owner breaks any laws, thus ridding these weapons slowly, on a more long-term scale. We already do so now with people who commit domestic violence and/or molestation against family members and others.

There is no reason at all that we couldn't legally expand that to include drunk drivers, public drunks and drug-users and other people arrested for similar crimes.

Each gun off of the streets is one less gun that can be used to kill someone, particularly by someone with anger, sexual, alcohol or drug problems, thus putting them in a class of persons more likely to use a gun to harm someone.
