Anne Bourne in California's Monterey County Herald, April 18, 1997:

We could abolish gun violence very easily, simply by making gun ownership a crime until such violence is reduced to zero. Everyone who owns a gun and defends general gun ownership is, I believe, a contributor to gun violence and should be held partially responsible. Once gun crime has stopped (yes, I believe it's possible to actually stop anything we really want to stop), those who have gun permits for hunting and have never committed a crime could once more own a gun, but if any crime occurs, once more all guns would be confiscated.
