| Ail said: The homicide rate in the US as a whole is 4.2. The homicide rate in Western is betwen 1 and 1.5 depending on the country. Every Western europe country has strong gun laws. And it doesn't matter if a state has strict gun laws if the state next door doesn't. There isn't a control when you cross the state border... Thing is for the last 20 years we tried the NRA way after every mass shooting, we kept selling guns and things didn't change, they only got worse as the Newton massacre demonstrates.. It's time to try something new...
As for the second amendment lets be serious. Do you ever think any militia would win a fight against unmaned drones and fighter jets if it came to that ?

And the crime rates? Look at the violent crime rate of the UK vs. US.
Will those 300 million guns in circulation just disappear in the event of a ban? I doubt it.
And yes, at the very least having an armed population disuades the government out of fear for their individual lives. At the very most the military would 100% support militias in such a conflict. As for drones and fighter jets, they rely on the infrastructure of the U.S. If you have 100 million + armed peoples scattered across that infrastructure it is so much more difficult to mobilize such devices.
Also it's not the NRA way, it's the U.S Constitution way and the law of the land. The NRA is just one group interested in using the Second Amendment for their interests, and sometimes it's not used correctly. However; a total gun ban would be devastating on the country.
