I believe if we outlawed guns the millions here illegally or in the possession of criminals would remain.

Since guns are involved in a microscopic part of all the crime we have I think it would make no favorable impact. In fact it would be worse because the criminals would KNOW there are no guns in the house, store, person.
But yes if you out law them then people will find illegal ways t get them anyway... so you will create a bigger problem that would put more money directly into pockets of black market criminals. So people would definitely find other ways, but making them wait on a back ground check might give them time to rethink or cool off before rampaging... and the back ground checks might stop some weapons from falling into the wrong hands.
you can never ban guns fully. You will always have the dark web and the black market for that. There was a case a few years ago where a guy went on a bow and arrow murder spree in Norway and nobody could stop him.
Guns are just a tool, there would still be robbers and killers as a person can learn to kill with their bare hands. And I'd hope they couldn't outlaw hands
No I still think that people would still use guns. Out lawing alcohol didn't get rid of it, it just drove it to the black market and made it nearly impossible to regulate.
For someone like myself living in Massachusetts we have one of the strictist gun laws in the country but you still hear about shootings in the news on a daily basis
@Agagagagaga my god! One incident makes a trend! No wait it doesn't. Japanese homicide rate is 0.3 per 100,000 people, while America's rate is 4.7 per 100,000 people
Youâre the one who seems to believe that if guns magically went away people would stop killing one another.
Besides, Americans have had access to firearms for hundreds of years. Why did mass shootings really start trending upwards in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s? Because the guns got better? đ Because we didnât have gun control laws? đ
Youâre throwing the baby out with the bath water and blaming firearms as the cause of mass shootings when history shows they arenât.
@Agagagagaga Hold onâŚnope didn't say that. If you rereadâŚi said massacres iverseas are a fraction of casualties here. What if these axe murderers had an AR 15 with high capacity mags?
i don't "believe" that, i know that. cause people are already killing each other without firearms.

Congratulations on regurgitating the dumbest pro-gun argument in the world: If people don't kill with guns, they'll kill with something else, so we might as well let them kill with guns. I mean sure, why not? Let's make mass murder as easy and get the body count as high as possible. 🙄
Meanwhile Let's ignore the fact that modern, industrialized countries with gun control have a far lower homicide rates, virtually no mass shootings, and no school shootings compared to US.

I do not think anyone is talking about out lawing guns... but we need to do better screen on who is buying these types of weapons.

In Asia they do mass killing with knife. Someone who want to kill will kill, in my village one guy killed his step father with a axe

We *could* just ban robbing and killing... oh, that's right.
Theyâd still be guns. They outlawed alcohol⌠there was more secret drinking every where.
Oh absolutely. There's all sorts of painful ways you can kill someone or rob them.
What were the 911 hijackers carrying? Box cutting knives.

They do that already. If we didn't have guns there'd be less gun deaths. Period.
Look at China. Their school massacres are 2-3 people in a knife attack. Ours are 20 kids with an assault rifle.

Yes, near where I live there have been 3 fatal stabbings at 3 different places.
They will find guns any time they need them! They can even use a 3D printer to make their own!!
Take away guns a Car I think would next weapon of choice then knives then bow and arrow. No matter what you do MAN WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO KILL.

They already do. The areas with the most gun crimes are areas where guns are banned. Like Chicago and New York
If you outlaw guns the criminal's still will have them they have already outlawed them to have them how is that working out so far
