That number, 850,000 dead, is conservative. Thats about how many gun owners you would have to kill, because they will not give up their guns.

No, I don't think that everyone would comply. However,
to me there's a pretty big gap between non-compliance and lethal violence. That's where my surprise comes from - that number
[850,000 dead] emphasizes to me that there's a disconnect between me and others that is incredibly deep, and I didn't even realize it was there. And I'm NOT a proponent of gun controls like we're talking about. Don't feel like you have to reply to me unless you're really moved to - the issue over lethal violence and body counts is sort of besides the point. The other issues of level of jurisdiction and types of controls are much more topical.
