The number of guns will decrease when prohibition comes, right? Prohibition of alcohol triggered bootlegging. Of course. Prohibition will trigger illegal gun manufacturing. But both alcohol usage and gun possesion will drop, right? And it is completely reasonable to assume and proven in the valued statistics that decreasing gun possession leads to decreasing murder rates, right? Less people get killed. Simple fact, please prove me wrong.
So when less people get killed, you and your family directly have a smaller chance to get killed, right?
So why would you still stand for legal possession of firearms? The criminal can legally get one?
Prohibition didn't work, take a history lesson buddy. If you outlaw guns you aren't taking them away from murderers, you're taking them away from law abiding people who want to protect their homes and their families. You're also taking away their ability to defend themselves against their own government.

If I were a criminal the number 1 thing I would pray for would be the ban on guns, that way I wouldn't have any resistence when I'm raping joe smoes wife or robbing his house.
