Well there is an admission for you you really don't care about peoples lives, it is guns you fear. Now try to answers this, what country in the world has the most pro-rata mass shootings. Is it civilised? Does it have gun restrictions?
hint it is

I'm trying to think of a good example you based this lunacy on. Prohibition of alcohol perhaps? Hmm no that was an abysmal failure of that principle. I know must be drugs. Yep that's it the one you know the most about. Tell how successful it is. Maybe pornography then..... no as far as I can see you do not have a successful example to use. Imagine that you are proposing a first without showing how it is going to work when all others have failed. You explanation has been an abject failure. Shame on you for trying to fool us when this is so easily checked.
See above. Will a knife do if your victims have been disarmed by the criminals friends?
You are new here so step back and try thinking before you post. Handguns are banned in the UK, there is no shortage of handguns for criminals in the UK. Japan has theft and in the whole country only about 10,000 have rifles or shotguns. I could go one but I really want you to explain why criminals are going to be rehabilitated if you remove CIVILIAN arms. Can you do that and use drugs as your model of what should be done.
Neither you, government or any one can take guns off the streets any better than they can keep drugs off the streets. You don't get out much do you, so how long would it take you to find illegal drugs?
As for saving lives civilians defend themselves from crime and criminals up to 3 million times a year using firearms.
Oh!! That describes your character nicely. Shoot innocent people because they want to defend themselves from what government has not put in prison. I can see the fear that drives you.
Wow from an estimated 120 to 300million firearms we have 500 or so accidental deaths. How much lower do you want it? How do you suggest that be obtained ie can you find next years 500? That fear is even more exposed.
I rest my case.
I truly think we have gone backwards since then. All those things they warned about have come true. The lust for power at any cost, the greed for money, citizens stupidity and acceptance, to bone idle to object to government usurping their rights. I think I know why now.
