while we're at it... Let's ban cars since they kill more than guns. Let's ban obesity since it kills more than guns. Let's ban doctors since they kill more than guns. Let's ban smoking since it kills more than guns. Let's ban alcohol since it kills more than guns. Let's ban toxic agents since they kill more than guns. (sad actually)
(Also deaths due to sexual behaviors comes very close to that of guns)
We could take them away from abusers, but not hunters.
Let's ban cars since they kill more than guns.
Again take them away from abusers, not people who use them for convenience.
Let's ban obesity since it kills more than guns.
This probably will eventually happen thanks to our new first lady.
Let's ban doctors since they kill more than guns.
What?
Let's ban smoking since it kills more than guns.
That would actually be a very good thing.
Let's ban alcohol since it kills more than guns.
Alcohol is illegal when consumed in large quantities.
Let's ban toxic agents since they kill more than guns. (sad actually)
Some are illegal...
(Also deaths due to sexual behaviors comes very close to that of guns)
Sexual abuse is illegal if that's what you mean.
With all this being said we shouldn't ban guns since it is a right to be able to own them, but with that said that right can be taken away from offenders.
Guns are simply destructive and were made for that intention. The fact is no one needs them, police can be given tazers and criminals can be given a zap... If we are going with the banning of guns lets just go ahead and ban all that is wrong in the world. Banning guns brings swords, banning swords brings clubs, banning clubs brings fists, banning fist brings feet, banning feet brings people charging into people, banning people actually solves the problem but defeats the point... In conclusion: Immediately kill those in the wrong mindset and we are golden.

And when criminals get their hands on a gun illegally, which happens with everything that is outlawed, all they would have to do is keep their distance.
banning anything would make it more and more expensive than it currently is. THis is because when the supply of guns, is lowered the demand for guns increases because that is one of the laws for demand. the government can actually make money if they tax all of the stuff you suggested to ban, they'll make more money, and then there would be no recession.
when you ban guns, this creats a black market demand for guns, criminals will still have guns, and the population of hippies will also increase due to the fact that no one can posses guns in a legal manner.
Not limiting guns would be a bad thing. Gangs would have WARS in cities with things like assualt rifles, machine guns, and other weapons they could get today. But, banning guns would be bad too. Many peoples' favorite sport, hunting or shooting, would be abolished. I say its good the way it is now!
^yes^ if guns were banned that means that criminals can still get them but you don't
This is exactly what happened in Australia. All the criminals have guns, but the law-abiding citizen doesn't and can't defend themselves from these criminals.
I'd just like to throw this out there. If, guns kill people. Then, pencils make spelling errors, shovels dig holes, bricks build houses, steering wheels drive cars, and so on. Guns do not kill people, people kill people.
because they kill people. while we're at it... Let's ban cars since they kill more than guns. Let's ban obesity since it kills more than guns. Let's ban doctors since they kill more than guns. Let's ban smoking since it kills more than guns. Let's ban alcohol since it kills more than guns. Let's ban toxic agents since they kill more than guns. (sad actually)
First of all I wouldn't ban guns where I live. Sometimes it is dangerous to walk with out a gun. Cars they dont actualy kill more people than guns it is the people behind the weel. Why on earth would you ban docters? are you some phsycho or something? Good luck with bannig obesity. half the country would be in jail if it were illegal. I agree with smoking and alcoholic beverages. They do kill a lot of people.
