    Wouldn’t that be nice?

    But the truth would be: someone will find a way to make guns on their own, then the rest of us would be defenseless against that.

    This is the reason why militaries have nuclear weapons despite wanting peace.

        Which exactly proved my point. You can make your gun at home.

        If you see one getting caught, imagine how many at large.

          That sounds like FUD. Intentional?

      If you think they would be the consequence of banning and removing guns from society, you can test this theory by looking at any country which has already done this. What you find is that gun violence is extremely minimal in these countries. So turns out your worries are over nothing!

            All guns should be surrendered and destroyed en masse.

            Quoting the original comment directly.

            This does not say the militaries can have it.

      Guns don’t defend against guns.

      Edit: People who have to deal with the public who might be armed don’t do it with a gun in their hand, they do it behind bulletproof glass. The odds that a given gun is going to shoot a bad guy moments before the bad guy shoots a good guy are a fraction of the odds that that same gun will be used to accidentally kill a child.
