I think no handguns => less murders, like in Japan or Korea. A rifle does everything a handgun does fine, it protects your house, can be used for hunting, and can fit in an average American car no problem, it's already portable enough. You don't need to take a gun with you into Wal-Mart because you have your reasons.

LOL, I'm just saying there is no need for Handguns. Whatever someones reason is to own a handgun, it's less important then potentially a human life. It might not make a difference in the USA, but it would probably cut 30/100 homicides a year out in Toronto, and that's just swell.

I also said "I think" It's opinion.

I think you need to research the impact of prohibition in American Culture then revist your assumption. Taking away a service or good that is desired by the people will result in far more insidious group of people creating a market for that service or good which ensures that only non-law biding citizens will seek out said service or good. You'd probably see a rise in violent hand gun crimes as a result of the people that would buy and sell them, much like alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. 

There are many other sociological reasons for violent crimes in society that are a result of the direction we have progressed as a culture, but we will never examine them because it requires that we take responsiblity for society rather than government doing so.
