Yeah I could kill someone if he broke into my home or business. I can't just ask him politely to leave if he has a gun. Of course I'd first give him the chance to drop his gun (if I had one as well pointed at him), I wouldn't just shoot first...but I value my life and my family's life more than that of a killer.

And yeah of course you could try using what's at hand, but a kitchen knife or baseball bat really won't do much against a burglar who has a gun that he got on the black market regardless of any and all gun control measures.

Of course I would love to see a world without guns, but that isn't realistic. 

criminals send their relative, friends or whatever to buy their guns for them if you make it harder for the average guy to buy a gun you then make it harder for criminals to get guns is that so hard to see, so the point of baning guns mean only criminals will have gun doesn't make sense since they get their guns initialy from law abiding citizens.

The problem in the US is that they have way to many guns, which lead to waste, by waste a mean a lot of guns are not accounted for and are easly obtained by criminals if you cut the number of guns you cut the availibity to citizens and to criminals which lead to less gun crimes.

But the ban raises prices, often exponentially over production costs or market value, and that alone creates severe impediments.

an AR-15 is not an assault rifle.

first off, assualt weapon is really a made up term, that progressives came up with a few decades ago to push gun control.

by definition, any weapon you use to attack some-one is an assualt weapon. a a 1700's flint lock pistol can be an assault weapon.

but lets for sake off argument say assualt weapon is a justifiable term. by almost all agreed upon standards, an assault weapon is fully automatic.

AR-15 are not fully auto, less than 2-3 percent of all gun are full auto. the amount of crimes committed by PEOPLE weilding full auto's is nearly statistically inmeasurable because it just doesnt happen.

"assault weapons" are incredibly hard to come by, very very expensive. i would press you to find an assault weapon for less than $10,000. then you have to get a tax stamp from the government, registar it with the atf, put your name, records, finger prints on atf records, get a background check, etc.

its an incredibly long and hard proccess to get one

The working class doesn't need military potential. The armed revolutions of yore are no longer necessary, and People Power is all that is needed.

Suppose you're lucky enough to ban the legal sale and manufacture of these weapons, how will that prevent criminals from getting their hands on them in a world where you can print guns?

Sure, it might raise them some but just as with any model of economics, the market will come to longer term equilibrium that will balance price with demand and supply. 

Supply will not be cut so short that price goes sky high.  And even then, gun theft will rise just as much to match.

i may have north korea's kim il sung as my avatar but that don't mean i want to live there, i'm happy in Britain. i'm a socialist NOT a communist (like America thinks, they are not the same thing). I believe that the greed of a few shouldn't affect the rest of us, it wasn't our fault they fucked up, is it? of course, it does anyway. Government should be there to help the neediest and offer basic services like healthcare and a good education, they definitely SHOULD not repress their people, that's what i hated about North korea and the former USSR. Capitalism is all good when everything goes well and everyone lives a decent lifestyle and has a job, but since the recession 5 years ago, so many people have lost what they had, it's just not right, it leads to higher crime and higher suicide, because money is everything. Your right, capitalism isn't bad but its not perfect either, as the few lucky people to make up to the top, fucked it because they got greedy. I mean to show how capitalism is flawed, lets compare figures, the US (a developed economy) poverty line is 15.7% of the population, with China (a developing economy) at 13.4%. Surely something is wrong there, the USA should have less poverty shouldn't it, if the American lifestyle is so much better than the Chinese

Just like global peace, it won't happen then :(
