He should issue an executive order banning all federal agencies

from using semi-automatic weapons. May as well require them to destroy all those weapons. He could do that tomorrow.

When the public sees that federal agents have no use for semi-automatics, that may dampen public demand.

... the FBI is going to go back to six-shot Smith & Wesson revolvers? And bolt-action rifles? And pump shotguns? Completely ceding weapons superiority to their adversaries, the Bad Guys? Expect the number of agents killed in action to skyrocket. Then see what effect that has on public demand.

How about the military? Should they give up their semi-automatic weapons too? And of course their full-auto weapons. Could they at least have Gatling guns?
