I agree with you about guns where we are, in Europe, but I don't think outlawing guns is a good idea in a country like America, where there are more guns than people; only the law-abiding citizens will hand in their illegal weapons, leaving the criminals with way more firepower. We don't get this problem is western europe because there simply aren't many guns to go around, so it's harder for criminals to get them; that's why our police don't need them, that's why we don't need them. Total opposite for America. Not saying it's a good thing, but I'm saying banning firearms just won't work in a country like America, crime rates would go even higher than they already are. If you want an example of a country with a massive gun culture and a very small crime rate, Switzerland. Almost every adult owns at least 1 gun, and gun crime is almost non-existant. But I guess you could say that it's a much smaller and mature (for lack of better word) population so maybe Switzerland isn't the best example. |
Yeah, I can understand that banning guns would be extremely impractical at this point, because there are so many of them that there would just be a huge black market and the situation would become worse.
