It's a good idea. It's the simplest, fastest, and most effective way to garner a wider base of support for the 2nd Amendment in our nation.That's simply another opinion stated as a fact, which doesn't make it true.
It would only be the most important fact in this thread if the premiss that giving guns to people would generate 2A advocacy, awareness, and activism. That premiss is flawed for many reasons already stated, and many folks do not accept that premiss. That doesn't mean we naysayers are right either. But I say again, you asked what we think. Don't be upset that people don't agree with you.
It is just as flawed as promoting the gifting of holy books as a way to increase awareness and advocacy for freedom of religion in the first amendment.
If your idea works, I congratulate you, and I'll happily eat crow. I wish you luck but if you actually convince people to start giving their guns away, then you should definitely look at a career in politics, because I suspect you could sell binoculars to a blind man.
Within 6 weeks this nation could double it's number of gun owners, thereby doubling it's political voting power.
