Guess what, it doesn't matter if it is against the law.  You can ban people from carrying guns but you can't stop them.  You can ban guns but you cannot remove them from society.  Criminals tend not to care about the law.

Ok, so you obviously don't believe in the idea of a constitutional state at all. The Monopoly on legitimate use of phyiscal force is one of the basic principles of a modern constitutional state. What you describe sounds more like "cold civil war" to me... not a society I'd want to live in.
It's a classic conservative idea to continue the arms race against criminals - it doesn't work, as fmc83's numbers show: "homicide rate in germany is 0,98 in 100.000 while it's 6,1 per 100k in the USA." Reminds me of Brazil, where the left-wing president tried to introduce a gun ban some years ago. The public voted against it, for fear of being defenseless against gangsters. This way it will never end, I'm afraid.

I didn't describe any type of system or say I was against a small government.  I didn't even mention those things.

BTW, the homicide rate is 1.4 in New Hampshire, where I live.
