Honestly if there weren’t so many active gun related threads at the moment, I would probably have left that thread alone and not closed it. But it was already heating up and built off an unrealistic speculation. I closed another gun thread very recently for the same reason.

Here is the other similar gun fantasy thread I closed:

> [@Legal or not, how much would mass gun banning and confiscation do to stop shootings?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/legal-or-not-how-much-would-mass-gun-banning-and-confiscation-do-to-stop-shootings/965227):
>
> Let’s temporarily handwave away all the legal/Constitutional stuff about Second Amendment and gun rights and everything, and just say we ban guns and start going door to door in every gun-owning household in America, “FBI and ATF, here to confiscate!” 400 million guns is a lot, and the feds/ATF couldn’t possibly get them all, but to what extent would it prevent shootings like the one at Uvalde and Buffalo?

* * *

And to go completely meta, my thread to discuss gun threads and how often they get hijacked, got completely hijacked. I probably should have handed out warnings but instead opted to close my own thread.
