But, we’ve been there and tried it (with alcohol). That doesn’t work either. Same as outlawing marijuana use. I don’t use it, so, I don’t care if it’s illegal, and would not break the law. If you’re a marijuana user, you don’t care about the law and use it anyway. Same with the gun laws. Non-users don’t have a problem with the ban and gun users are going to end up being outlaws. I don’t think they will let that happen, though! That is a good reason why there is a large belief in a pending civil war.
“More than 38,000 people in the United States were killed with a gun in 2016”
But only 11000 were homicides. The rest – 27000 – were suicides… about the same as with belts and plastic bags.
Compare that to 88000 deaths from alcohol per the CDC. Ban Alcohol and you save 8 times as many people as banning guns.
If Europe banned alcohol, over 300k people would be saved!
But 13,566 bars would go out of business.

Guns are a god given Constitutional right.
