*talking from a "what if"


Maybe if there was a gun ban there would be shady bissinusses that would continue to sell them,thus making large amounts of money, and with that money could bribe and create a small personal army of thugs to protect themselves, something like the drug cartels in columbia only now gun...cartels.....

end of "what if" scenario

That's no "what if"-scenario, that's called mafia and cartels, something you have more than enough of already.

While we are lacking them...

and there will be more....if there is a good demand there will be a supply.

In a civilized society, you're confident that the police will stop whoever is trying to kill you, so whether you should get a gun or not is not a question.

This is a 'civilized society', it's just the nuts that screw everything up. (no, go ahead, sig. it)
I am confident that the police will stop someone, but we are all robots humans. We have emotions, like Minority Report. Some people decide to kill someone, set it up, and do it. Others are enraged by passions and emotions, and kill someone. She could have easily been hit by the ex, driving an SUV as she left her house.

Even better point. If we didn't have cars, then he couldn't have gotten to her house/apartment so quickly. Lets take away the dangerous and speedy cars. But then he would have used a machete, so lets take that away. Then you have rocks, and we can't let him use a rock, so we have to cut those out too.
Heck, If she hadn't dated him, then he wouldn't be mad. So lets make dating illegal!

I hope that guns can be rendered unnecessary, and we can live with bunnies and flower. Until that day, however, people will find ways to kill people.
