Hah right. I sure wouldn't want to live in a world where only cops and soldiers have guns. Seen what's happening in Tibet lately?
People may think it's a "libertarians wet dream" to overthrow the government with guns, but the situations around the world show a clear need for the people to have power when their government is completely callous about shooting citizens to control the population.
I might agree with banning guns to lower crime rates, except for the government situation. The us government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and repressive of protest, and continuing to take away rights.
But without that threat, why would we ban the owning of guns instead of the production of guns? Why wouldn't you just ban the manufacturing of firearms?
