Banning all firearms is a mythical bogeyman. No western nation has banned all firearms, and nor has any serious attempt been made to do so.Banning all firearms may be like that but that Isn’t what I, nor most moderates, are suggesting.
If banning all firearms is the line, then the NRA should be completely happy with the US adopting the same laws that apply in the UK, or Sweden, or France, or Australia. None of those places has banned all firearms, or even come close to it.
Personally, I would be happier with simply banning firearms not optimised for non-human targets. Shooting people shouldn't be a legitimate reason for any civilian, other than perhaps a specially trained police officer, to have a firearm.
