I'm pro-gun control. A weapon stylized to resemble military assault weapons, which has been used in multiple mass killings, and isn't of any particular use when hunting or self-defense pretty much has no reasonable use to the public. Handgun proliferation is also a huge issue.
Australia's model for disarmament looks pretty sensible. Siezure of firearms crosses the line, though. Unless the weapons were obtained illegally, or were used in violent crime, constitutional protections against this sort of thing would certainly apply.
The best step we could take in the near term would be to close loopholes in firearm purchasing to make background checks as pervasive and effective as possible.
Just remember, "they" aren't coming for your guns. "They" are coming for your medicare and social security.
