Should we Ban Guns?

I'm against banning guns for two main reasons. First, whenever you try to ban something like that, it only makes things worse. We tried to ban alcohol in the 1920's and created criminal empires as a direct result. Then there's the war on drugs. We currently see how well that's going. We don't need that with guns. The second reason is I would be fearful to live in any country where the only ones with the guns are those in power.

We have very strict gun laws in the UK and everything is fine. Massacres are very very rare, i can only think of 2 in the last 15 years. Stabbings are far more likely here, but only in London really. 

Well if we're talking about the UK it's worth noting that shootings have INCREASED since the gun ban.  I mean, to repeat the graphic.

 

Again.... not saying it's related but it's pretty disengenious to suggest that the gun ban have ANYTHING to do with it.  Since well... it's worse there.

 

As for rampages.... You know who doesn't have mass school shootings at all?  Mexico, the malaligned country complained about in this thread.
