Ban the guns, you’d be taking the ability for law abiding citizens to defend themselves. Criminals and especially organized criminals will get their hands on unregistered guns one way or another. Besides, people will always find other maybe more sinister ways to kill each other, direct or indirectly. Why is United Kingdom, with the strictest weapons control policies in the EU, one of the most violent countries in Europe? As opposed to countries like Switzerland and the Czech Republic, countries with some of the most lenient gun laws on the planet, have pretty low crime rates?
Well, in Switzerland, almost everybody has a rifle or gun of some sort, as part of the national militia. And I think their children are taught about guns at a very young age, so it’s less “I have the power to instantly kill another human being in the palm of my hand” and more “a dangerous tool, but a tool nonetheless”.
