As just about everyone who has given it any thought knows, it would be impossible to make the U.S. a gun free country. It's trite but true, outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns.
I've made the observation previously, gun controllers' best bet is to concentrate on some new place that is currently uninhabited and inaccessible. Colonize it and restrict any gun imports. So here's that opportunity. 'Space kingdom' seeks citizens for life beyond Earth very soon:
VIENNA (Reuters) - Feel like the world is going to the dogs? Want to get away from it all? Here’s a solution: become a citizen of the nation of Asgardia and hope it makes good on its promise to colonize the moon.
Asgardia was founded just 20 months ago, and it already has about 200,000 citizens, a constitution and an elected parliament. It has a leader, Igor Ashurbeyli, who was inaugurated on Monday.
It also has grandiose ambitions. It wants to build up a population of 150 million within 10 years. It plans to set up “space arks” with artificial gravity in outer space where humans could live permanently.
They are already collecting taxes!
Asgardians now pay an annual membership fee of 100 euros. It plans to collect taxes on businesses and private income, which it says will be kept very low.
What could possibly go wrong?
