| luinil said: Yes naznatips you are correct. However, that would mean all handguns must stop being produced and all current guns must be collected. Would the criminal element willingly give up their power over others by force (meaning give up their guns)? no. They like the ability to steal, and kill for their own goals. This is why handguns must not be banned. |
Because they are going to stop robbing and murdering if we don't confiscate their guns? I'm not denying that the biggest issue with outlawing handguns is the reactions of the criminal element (and the crazies in general), but it's not like it wouldn't reduce (if not practically eliminate) gun related crimes after the fact. The actual act of confiscation wouldn't be easy, but hardly impossible. Harsh penalties and prison time could be applied to those who hid their weapons, and obviously they wouldn't have to confiscate rifles and hunting equipment.
