Anytime you see the word "modest" employed, you can be certain the author intends to shove 10 lbs of crap down your throat and insist that you consume it with a smile. Red flags and sirens should go off when you see that word. Especially when it comes to infringing on your God given rights.

“Congress should pass a law forthwith requiring every gun buyer to declare whether or not he intends to commit a crime with the gun.” The absolute epitome of leftist airhead Magic Thinking! ... And the scary thing is these fools vote and believe their magic!

In Hong Kong if you own a weapon you do have to keep it at the police station. You may only shot it in a firing rang and have to account for every spent cartridge.

This modest proposal smacks of the UK and the restrictions placed on legitimate firearms license holders. “Modest” proposal it is not because it equates legal firearms owners as criminals (or worse).

Congress should pass a law forthwith requiring every gun buyer to declare whether or not he intends to commit a crime with the gun. If a would-be buyer says yes, he would be denied a gun...

Wait a minute, that's not fair. If a fellow is honest enough to state that he intends to commit a crime with the gun, shouldn't the government be reinforcing that sort of honesty? I mean, you get the behavior you reward, right? So a hearty, "sure, I mean to knock off the corner liquor store" ought to be rewarded with, oh, I don't know, a box of ammo or a high-capacity ammo clip magazine thingy. Decent civic behavior is important, and if we're going to raise a generation of honest citizens I don't see the point in penalizing anyone for telling the truth.

A lame attempt at satire, since the gun grabbers would be thrilled by this proposal.
