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.

A. I argue band hand guns, not all guns. If you're going to compare this to alcohol, my suggested method of gun control already applies to alcohol. I argue to ban the most dangerous guns, guess what type of alcohol is banned in the USA and Canada? Anything above 40%, stronger alcohol, alcohol which serves no purpose like handguns, and is only detrimental to society.

B. Prohibition is for alcohol, alcohol clearly has a use. Many countries band guns and have completly healthy economies (Japan and Korea), many others heavily restrict them (Singapore, Mongolia and much of Eastern Europe) and again perfectly reasonable economies. I'm not aware of any developed country which bans alcohol and is doing well.

What's your point in your last sentence, what do you expect society to do to prevent criminals from becoming criminals? I agree here, but you shouldn't put the onus on either party, government and society should be resposible for creating organizations which teach people good morals
