It's an ideal of course, but I don't care much for guns either. I don't live in one of the safest neighborhoods in the world at people get shot around here a lot. And when I hear what kind of weapons were used it really baffles me. It isn't legal to have military weapons when your a civilian is it? These guns are just insane, who lets people have this stuff? I got shot at by accident, bullet went right through my window and made a nice hole in my fridge. My ex-neighbor messing around with his gun and it could have killed me, so no I'm not a fan nor am I an advocate. An ideally guns should be taken away from people, but that's just again my ideal.
I hate guns.

It is more to try and teach the children not to use guns more than trying to take away guns from those who already need them.

lala wants to take them away in actuality.It is more to try and teach the children not to use guns more than trying to take away guns from those who already need them.
They solved that problem centuries ago::
Throw Bigger Rocks !
Plus, get rid of guns and how long do you think it would be before somebody resurrected the Repeating Crossbow ?

I think all people who are naive should go and have their heads checked.
Doesn't everyone agree ?
I'm starting to agree with some other members who think you're a troll.

entirely possible. or a sock puppet.
getting rid of guns will not cure murder.

No, actually it would go up.
No worry about getting shot, so the cretans commit more crime, and they always seem to come up with a weapon.
so a burgler would strangle a family while they slept instead of shooting them? Sounds rather time consuming to me. And a mall shooter would go around bashing people with a rock?
But, some of the worlds biggest mass murders never involved a gun. concentration camps and flying a plane into a building....

It isn't hard to see what you are saying, fewer deadly weapons, fewer people being killed by the convenience of a really deadly weapon.
As you acknowledge and others point out, there is no practicle method to achieve the distruction of the "really deadly weapons".
But your point is that people with the self appointed power of a really deadly weapon have a much greater power than they would have if their weapons weren't quite as deadly. Ultimately you are promoting the re-emergence of the bully who has nothing to fear from you or anyone who isn't carrying a big rock or stick.
Don't worry I'm fully aware of that. I can still think it up though.

Who honestly needs a gun?
And this affects me how?
It depends of how much liberty you want to allow others to have in regards to getting in your space if you follow my drift. Guns for protection of family and posessions might be considered a "need". I look at it as a way to deny liberty to the bad guys who would not otherwise hesitate to take what is mine.

There wouldn't be enough room for those things to be built in big Cities or even be used in cities for that matter.
How could you assume I am naive?

They were used in and against cities all the time, and they were built when and where needed.
Well see I was thinking that, a well justified family could have a pistol, and a man on the other side of the world could use a shotgun to kill his dinner.
