That's part of my point. Gun manufacturers have essentially forced people to buy guns, not only for protection but for evil as well. And, as more school shootings happen, or homicides, that's exactly what they want!! Why? Because people want to defend themselves. So they buy guns.
And essentially this view would never happen, because not only would it kill jobs, but it would lose lots of revenue to the government. But honestly, if it were possible, and some countries in this world have done it, there would be far less violence without guns. I know people kill people, not guns. But guns are a form of technology designed to kill people instantly at a distance, and is somewhat easy to figure out how to shoot it. Guns make killing people easy, especially the automatics like in Columbine. If you make guns more easy to obtain, not only are guns easier to purchase for protection, but also for malice intent. To provide evidence about the gun industry wanting violence, there was a background check being considered in the senate. Over 90 percent of the general public was for this background check before purchasing a gun. Over 80 percent of NRA members were for this background check. The Senate didn't pass it.
It shows two things. First, the power of lobby. Second, that the NRA wants anybody and everybody, regardless of mental state, to buy a gun. The more violence you see on TV, the more prone you are to buy your own weapon.
In order to rid this country of weapons, we would have to disband the NRA and gun manufacturers, whenever a firearm is confiscated it is destroyed, and we would have to infiltrate the black market and destroy those guns. But America is so gunho and entrenched in this second amendment crap, that essentially we will never have a society with gun control, there are simply way too many guns. And that was exactly the plan from the get go from the gun industry.
