Austin Bragg wrote a hilarious satirical essay over at Reason: How to Create a [Individually-owned] Gun-Free America in 5 Easy Steps: Guns – and the Second Amendment – won’t just disappear. There’s a video too.

The last part of Step 5 gets to the problem:

The rest you have to take.

You’ll need the police, the FBI, the ATF or the National Guard—all known for their nuanced approach to potentially dangerous situations—to go door-to-door, through 3.8 million square miles of this country and take guns, by force, from thousands, if not, millions of well-armed individuals. Many of whom would rather start a civil war than acquiesce.

So inevitably gun violence, which is currently at a historic low, will skyrocket.

Or, we could just have freedom.
