it is the same argument as belief.
the first step is to outlaw guns. the second step is to get rid of them. if nobody has them, nobody needs them. if you let somefolks have them, then other folks will need them. If the police carry them, I want one, because I'll be damned if some authoritarian bastard can get one-up on me for no good reason other then a heater in his possession. So I take the better ground, be the bigger man, and say I dont want one, and he dont need one.
this also means removing guns from our social culture, not just our pockets. that is out of sight and mind together, because it is in the brainwashed masses that the desire to own a gun comes from, and then such ownership inevitably leads to a person getting hurt, because thats what guns do, they hurt people. all over the world that is all they do, you only need to have a gun to defend yourself against a person with a gun, if there are no guns, then no one needs them. Our society can be maintained without guns, my argument is that it is our gun culture itself that makes it so dangerous so as to believe the need is valid. But I say, no guns, no problems, yes guns, yes problems.
The street can have the guns go away, trust me. I plead the fifth ammendment here, but know that between 1994-2004 it was impossible to find good prices on street guns [and good prices are how these things get into the streets to begin with, po folks cant afford
expensive guns] and in Cali where handguns are extremely regulated, it is very difficult to find street pistols. The overall gun-related homicide rates are down every year since 1992, and it is in the 90s that regulations began, so the laws and regulations have been a success. There are less guns in California thanks to prohibition and restrictions. I normally am opposed to big government, but the distribution of weapons is a serious matter, life and death.
