Keep cheering every little nick and cut they perform to gradually eliminate every person in the country from possessing a gun. Your "leaders", SWORN TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION (!!), have already made hundreds of misdemeanors grounds for a PERMANENT ban (as in "for the rest of your life") on gun possession. "Unusual" punishment USED to be against the law.
