I dont know how to really answer this question, well yes I do, NO!!!!!!!!!!!, a firearm is like a 1/2" wrench, nothing more than just a TOOL!!!!!!. To take the firearm out of the equasion does nothing more than change the tool to be used. Human emotion is the thing that needs banning, the laws we already have would do the job if our nation was not so politicly correct, if our judges did their job and kept the criminals behind bars. To take the firearms away would only give the criminal a leg up on the law abbiding citezen, look at it this way, 1994 our government decided to take our rights away by banning pistol grips, threaded barrels, high capasity mags, and bayonet lugs, what crimes did this stop, "well I didnt hear of any driveby beyonettings" NONE!!!. Now lets just say the pretend world really exsisted, instead of being mugged at gunpoint, you would be mugged with a knife, baceball bat, or anything else that could be used as a weapon, until these as#holes are delt with we will have this problem for all time, just because the other countries dont air their dirty laundry doesnt mean it isnt going on, too many people think they are in THE PERFECT WORLD, wake up people befor it is too late.
