Total ban would be the best idea.
Are you really that off the wall?
Haha, that's ironic.
Believe it or not, I enjoy the thought that it is so hard to acquire a gun. The country is far safer for it. This is a country and a culture which has always been hostile to legalised gun ownership. The only people who ought to be allowed guns are the police.
So, you really are that off the wall after all.
Your entire country is off the wall for believing it's okay to give people guns.
Of course it's ok. Why do you hate freedom, anyway? Weren't you a libertarian once?
I don't hate freedom. Quite the opposite. I support the freedom for people to walk the streets safely without the fear of a nutter going round shooting people up.
Right, and you still haven't addressed the points made in my first reply--the bad people are still going to have guns, even if they are illegal. Illegalizing guns, therefore, create the illusion of safer streets when in fact criminals still have guns all along. Why, then, must we make it harder for law abiding citizens to have guns? Gun rights can be abused, just like all other rights, but that doesn't mean that we should ban all guns.
Interestingly enough, gun crime is more or less nonexistent in Japan.
