consider this proposal for reducing gun violence.

Created by N.S. on July 19, 2013

We should ban all civilian firearms and make a gun similar to the Heavy Weapons Guy's Minigun (See http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Minigun ) the only gun legal for civilians to purchase.

Sounds ludicrous? Consider this:

1. The Minigun fires $200, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds, meaning each bullet costs over $800 apiece. At such a high price per bullet, anyone using the gun would have to seriously consider whether firing at whatever he or she is firing is worth the money.

2. This gun is huge. It weighs 331 lb and would be nearly impossible to conceal in a public space. It would also be too heavy for your average psychopath to lug into a school [Continued at http://pastebin.com/YFRkgfe8].
