They should restrict or prohibit the sale of weapons, that's the first step! I think you don't need to carry a gun in a shoot-out. That wont help you to defend yourself because you will probably be killed swiftly. If the arms are already here, why do you want to buy more arms? That will only cause more deaths. They can increase the security in general, then they can focus on the real criminals. Those criminals will be arrested and taken into custody. We can control our actions, but we can't control the actions of other persons. There are many people trying to get money through the suffering of millions of people and there are also people with mental problems. That's the reality in which we live. There is no turning back.  

Lol you guys are saying that we have no control whether we live or die when it comes to other people so tell me again why do you want guns completely banned if we're ****ed either way?

Obviously the government would increase security measures to ensure that illegal firearms do not enter the country.

If a criminal has a gun owning one yourself won't help because its probably too late for you anyway,comply with their wishes.

The amount of firearms in circulation will decrease as they are confiscated and the prices for them will go up due to limited stock therefore preventing most criminals from obtaining them.

Crimes still happen without firearms however running away from someone wielding a knife is much easier than with a criminal with a firearm.Law enforcement also has a higher chance of not being killed as they will have access to firearms.

How will the government increase security measures to prevent illegal firearms from entering the country? Don't you think they're already trying to prevent that? Restricting guns would only increase the demand in the black market. Guns, drugs, and alcohol are all in the same category. Government prohibition only means more money for the black market.

Correct. There is no turning back. We have plenty of guns in circulation and allow people to own and carry them. You can't go back and restrict guns now.

Not to mention the U.S. Constitution allows you to have guns and that can't be changed except through the amendment process... The argument to completely prohibit guns isn't even an argument worth wasting time on. It's unrealistic.  

Also want to drop all those children who take daddies gun to school for show and tell
Even if criminals keep their weapons well hidden we should still be banning the sale in order to prevent the majority of the population from attaining firearms therefore decreasing the chances of a school shooting as parents would not have firearms in which their children could bring to school(unless they are criminals)

In Canada owning firearms is legal however regulations are strict which could also be a good alternative for our southern neighbors  

This has no relevance to the topic.

Idk if I mentioned in the OP but this question was more American-centric.

Yes, we are all psychic

This is focussed on younger people specifically (middle school to highschool senior). What would you say is the biggest problem people in your generation face today? Looking for something that is more like an epidemic, that could become a widespread problem within the next 5-10 years if something isn't done.

This can really be anything, poor public education, suicide, discrimination, drug abuse.

50% of this thread is non-American users lol

Exactly, you can die at any time and people don't need a gun to kill you.

"I wont let them to kill me". This is what happens when the goverment allows for everyone to have a gun. Who's allowed to carry an arm? The authorities? They should ban the use of arms because otherwise, the death rate isn't going to decrease. Yes we have guns in circulation and criminals trying to hide anywhere.
Why they have to wait for a new crime to react?

If you can't understand that, I can't help you!

Then WTF is then point of banning guns then if people are just incapable of defending themselves from crime?

You're basically saying "Hey you're probably going to die so I'll just take any means of self-defense away from you lmao."

If you were ever a victim of crime wouldn't you want a way to prevent it???

If that's what you want to think, I can't do anything to change it and won't try it neither. I don't know what your reading. I think it's easy to understand and don't need a book to know that. Use your logic ! Maeby I'm very smart.....
