HOW TO DO GUN CONTROL: “Special squads of police. No notice searches. Fines. Imprisonment.”

UPDATE: Eugene Volokh observes: “It does seem to me that a War on Guns, with unannounced random searches on streets and in homes, should be highly unappealing to anyone who has even some reservations about the War on Drugs, and questionable even to those who support the War on Drugs.”

I can certainly see a downside. And as Volokh notes, proposals like this do illustrate the dishonesty of claims that “No one is trying to take away your guns,” and that claims to the contrary are just a “gun lobby bogeyman.”
