Liberty is a compromise as far as I'm concerned. I don't want to live in a society where anyone is at liberty to do anything they like regardless of the consequences to others.

That's not liberty.

Have your guns, but lock them up at a gun club is all I want, if you believe I am stomping all over your civil liberties then so be it.

So be it? One big reason people buy guns here is for personal defense. There have been many studies over the years on defensive gun use and the range is about 800,000-3.6 million defenisve uses per year. Your proposal would probably garauntee that people would be less safe. How do you justify endangering the lives of possibly millions of people? Have you thought about the costs to society such a plan would entail and whether they outweigh whatever benefits you think there'd be?
