But lets pretend this could happen. That won't stop people from being violent or killing others. How many IEDs have killed soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan? They are not difficult to make. How many people are knifed or clubbed to death every year? Point is, even with a total global gun ban, people are still going to find a way to kill each other. That's just what we do. From sticks and stones to swords to hatchets to our bare hands, humans will find a way to kill other humans.

Which leads me to my final comment. People are the problem. Not weapons.
so that means we should make it as easy as possible to do?
