You disagree that without guns there will be the less deaths? Not sure you got what I was saying. No guns in the situation would mean less deaths because police wouldn't have them either, no one would. This isn't about confiscating guns from law-abiding black men and women, it's about removing guns from everyone regardless of their race or social standing in society. If the banning of guns means less things like a law-abiding citizens being shot, police doing their job getting shot or a bunch of school kids seeing life beyond their graduation, then restricting gun ownership should be a priority. Drugs and Alcohol are generally self harming items, guns generally hurt others. |
If we could magically wave a wand and eliminate all of the guns that exist, sure. But we can't. There has to be a means of enforcing it. And that means police going door to door confiscating weapons. Even then they wouldn't succeed.
Drug and Alcohol prohibition both lead to organized crime. You can be sure that there will be organized crime surrounding the gun trade if prohibition were to take place. The demand in the U.S is too high, among criminals and non-criminals alike.
