I would say no, because it causes a shitstorm and is going to be a slow process.
The U.S. should be worrying about other more pertinent things. Like a balanced budget that cuts government spending. Than playing politics accusing Obama of not shooting skeet, and then obama showing him a picture of a shotgun.
imo anyways.
What about other countries? Canada's gun ownership rate is much lower then USA.
spurgeonryan said: No. Sorry. In some countries prostitution is legal, others drugs are legal. This is our vice. Guns are legal. Ban guns and you effectively ban freedom. We banned alcohol once. Was a disaster. We ban drugs. Is a disaster!
What new problems will arise after guns are banned? There is always something.
Is this a good vice to have? People go to other countries for sex and drugs, but do people come to USA to shoot people? You can still have guns legal at hunting ranges, or shooting ranges.
Alcohol has a purpose, what purpose do guns have? If you need to de-stress, and shooting a gun does that for you, do you not already do that at a shooting range? Why do you need to take the weapon home?

Watch this video if you are against guns and think you have stats backing it up.
That video is so biased.
A) Criminals will still keep weapons, and only law abiding citizens will follow the law? Aren't guns in the USA registered like in Canada? You go door to door and take away guns, or put individuals in jail. Also it's a slow process, don't ban all guns at once, start at semi automatics.
Your joking right?
Of course guns in the US are registered. Which i why the vast majority of crimes are committed with unregistered guns. This happens... everywhere.
As for going door to door? If you meant every house that violates Due Process.
If you mean people with registered guns... because like mentioned, registered guns aren't usually a problem... so we're spending a bunch of money to get rid of guns that aren't the problem, so people aren't armed. Which does prevent crime.
Not in the "He's got a gun" so the criminal leaves way primarily (though that does happen) but in the "He might own a gun, so lets not rob him" Type way.
The US has as far as i know the lowest amount of "Hot" home invasions... aka robberies in which people are home when robbed. In the US you don't rob someone unless you are 100% sure they aren't home because criminals are more afraid of homeowners then police. (actual study).
