There are PLENTY of people, that think the world would become a happy snuggly place of love and peace, if the government would but ban guns and confiscate.

 

 

They tried that once it was called prohibition,  banned and made alcohol production and sale illegal, how well did that work out?  criminals made tons of money making and selling, entire police departments and politicians in small towns were paid to look the other way. 

you want to start a civil war and see a country implode walk in to peoples houses and tell them your taking their guns. you can take every legally owned gun in the country,  but you going to get the guns owned by criminals too? this country would become a slaughter house as criminals run wild.

No one wants to remove guns, but we should deff. get smart with restrictions, I see of no reason why the mentally handicapped should have a gun

In most all states there are laws against mentally handicapped owning guns. you look at the 15 biggest cities that have the toughest gun control laws, but they have the highest crime rates.  Detroit, Baltimore, Dover, Chicago all respectively have the toughest gun laws around,  but all have highest crime rates.  New laws / tougher laws will not curb gun violence. it has been shown over and over again, 80% to 85% of gun violence was committed by illegal guns.

Should some guns be banned from public sales? yes there are,  but tougher laws on people getting guns legally will not in any way stop or slow the violence.

Yes, or at least should be adjusted, it's a 250 years old rule and the world has changed.

The world has changed,  but has it changed for the better or worse?

if you removed guns from the people who get them legally would that make the country safer?
