Of course there goes the first amendment and the rest of the constitutions as well. We could also give up sports, cars, NASA, honey bees etc… You are a real thinker there sonhouse!!!!
how about just making ALL weapons illegal, that way when crims use guns it is only them that kills with them, since most gun related deaths are from friendly hands accidentally deaths from gunfire would still go way down.

Originally posted by AgergWhat happened during the prohibition years? If guns were to be banned there would be a loss of life greater than perhaps thousands of years of current rate accidents and intentional killings as well as leaving the victims helpless. It doesn't appear that the govt. can protect the population, so it will end up necessarily being self protection. If you want to ban something ban drugs. Oh yeah, they did. How is that working out?
