problem with guns is they are there already,
It is impossible to pull them from circulation, any one who thinks banning guns would be like banning porn. There is to much of it around to disappear
It would be better if they where never there to begin with,
What Piers was getting at is if you want a gun ok, You don't need an assault rifle.
A point people made about guns being illegal but still attainable. Guns to my knowledge are not constructed easily, weed on the other hand is,
If there was no legal factories making guns other then for military purposes, which would be insainly regulated to the point on random finger print testing to check for evil twins, The ability to make guns would be rather difficult. thus very hard to attain, or stupidly priced
Most illegal guns are probably made legally
A very valid point is guns don't kill people (unless manufactured defectively) people kill people.
Guns are build with the single purpose of causing harm,
Knives and fertiliser which can be used easily as weapons and in reality are behind more death then guns, primary purpose is something else
