(2,983 posts)You think we should now declare a war on guns? Let's say we made ownership of fire arms illegal. This may be an old argument, but it's because it makes sense... *only law abiding citizens would turn in their weapons*. Plenty of criminals own guns too, plenty of people own guns illegally. So in order to "round up" all their guns, we would have to send people with guns to take them. What does this accomplish? Why, just what most of us (I hope) would like to prevent... bullets flying through the streets, enormous body counts, lots and lots of death and destruction... I'm sure you get the idea.
I would not want to live in a Country with you as a Dictator. The 2nd amendment actually exists to protect us from ideas like the one you suggested.
Pry them out of cold dead hands? You'd have to. A whole lot of cold dead hands. If you're willing to pay that price, then you are actually far, far more dangerous than the average gun owner.
I may not own a gun - but if the 2nd amendment is ever repealed, the first thing I will do is go buy one.
