The "final solution" to American gun ownership.

Okay, here's my suggestion. Let's give every American man, woman and child a Uzi.

My guess is that by the next day, our population will be about half of what it currently is due to road rage alone.

The day after that, it will again be cut in half and so on until there are only a handful of survivors. At that point there will no longer be a gun ownership problem in this country.

Ridiculous? You bet. Would it work? Probably.

1. Isn't there a country in Europe that requires gun ownership for all households?

7. kind of

switzerland

not quite every household, but a hell of a lot them - fully automatic rifles, and ammo, at govt. expense

noted that switzerland has VERY low crime rates, violent and otherwise.

also much lower rates than the UK, the USA, etc.

not saying their guns are a CAUSE of the low crime rate, but saying the converse argument is specious

2. How many people own guns versus how many crimes are done with guns

4. Interesting choice of words

I think those who made the Uzi might find it less amusing than I do though.

Personally, I'd love an Uzi. But a PPsH would be better, since 9mm has gotten so expensive as of late.

5. Not that I wouldn't want a free Uzi, how much would this cost the taxpayers?

Well, you KNOW it has to be a SMG.  You KNOW how many crimes are committed by those who are allowed to own these vile, evil weapons.  I mean isn't there a crime committed with a fully auto weapon on a regular basis??  I see it reported in the 'Main Stream Media' all the time and they MUST know what they are talking about.  You can't put it on the Tee Vee unless it's true right.   :whatever:

Buncha Idiots.

It was my suggestion some time back for hospitals to include Baby's First Gun in those little BabyCare Packages they send home with new mothers.

An armed society is a polite society.

Very true. I wonder if the DUmmies heard of Kennesaw Georgia, where each home has to have a gun. The crime rate dropped.

And Virgin, Utah.  Hell, I'll bet there aren't 6 DUmmies who know the first thing about firearms.

If gun ownership became universal, the day after there would be a lot of DUmmies with holes in their heads.  Some accidental, I'm sure.  But quite a few would probably see it as an effective alternative to whatever the latest and greatest anti-depression medication is.
