76. Flaw in your argument
You said, "Prohibitions on owning or doing things that large numbers of people have either very strong reasons or very strong urges to own or do on a regular basis certainly do often result in crime and violence. Prohibitions on owning or doing things that people have no need and no raging desire to do, don't."

You apparently believe that firearms fall into the category of things described in the last sentence. It's fine with me if you want to hold that erroneous opinion, but you seem to want to use the force of law to impose that view of what others don't need or want to do on others.
