Cocaine, Heroin and Prost' are personal choices for oneself. Guns are created to kill OTHERS. There is a massive difference. You will never completely stop shootings. But you can make a huge difference if guns are simply not available. The world is watching and laughing at you.

You misunderstood the analogy. My point about drugs and prostitution isn’t that they’re similar to firearms in *function*. It’s that they’re banned and still not at all hard to find. You can’t make guns “not available” in a country with more *unregistered* guns than people.

Not only that, but people have been making ARs at home for well over a decade now. Gun bans won’t change mass shootings. Background checks are a good idea but won’t change much either. But fixing our society and it’s socioeconomics will.

Nobody said banning guns will stop ALL shootings. But it will drastically reduce the amount of shootings over time. Once a large percentage of guns are off the streets and out of people's hands and harder to attain, you'll see the difference. It's late rly obvious to most people

Banning guns is not magic. If you could ban guns and that would result in those guns disappearing, sure. But again, over 340 million *unregistered* guns here. Cocaine is still available and its supply has to be replenished. Guns are not biodegradable. It’s magical thinking.

“Once a large percentage of guns are off the streets”... HOW?! Australia’s guns were registered, and they got rid of 600,000 of them. We have over 550 TIMES AS MANY and only 1% are registered! We need to deal in the world as it is, not as we wish it were. Join me in reality.

The reality is that you need to get rid of the guns. Yes, you have a lot of guns, but a total ban and also incentives to hand in weapons, plus strict punishment for those in possession of weapons, will work. It might take 10 years, maybe even 50. But in the end, they'll be gone.

In the future, say, 200 years from now, guns will be banned in every country on Earth. As the population of the earth generally get smarter and more educated, guns will be less and less acceptable. You can try and stall it, but what's the point? America is already behind on this.
