Gun crime did. And gun crime is preventable. You can;t ban kitchen knives or cricket bats, but guns serve no positive purpose in society, and therefore, gun crime is the most preventable type of crimeWe confiscated handguns in 1996, and everything worked out fine.One gun used for murder is one gun too many.We have more guns than criminals have hands, how could they all be used for murder?
If it saves one life, a complete confiscation is justified
While you mean well you need to consider some things. The gun nuts won't all give up their guns. Some might need to be killed to get them. And criminals certainly won't give them up.
And if you look at other countries who have done what you want homicide rates haven't gone down.
We should do a few things but confiscation I don't think so.
Australia confiscated guns in 1996 as well and everything worked out fine.
If Murica' can put a man on the moon, they can successfully get rid of handguns and assault rifles in private hands
Did homicide rates go down?
So you spend time, money and possibly lives banning guns, but the same number of people still are killed each year? Wouldn't the effort be better spent somewhere else?
