neilinkorea said:Which is exactally why the only way to control guns like that is not to make them in the first place. Which is what I said in my original post.
A gun is made every 12 hrs in a small shop in a allyway in Pakistan. Any machince shop here could turn out 10-20 Sten gun type SMG's everyday. China is flooding Africa with firearms.
The ownership of firearms and permits has skyrocketed in the US, yet the Homicide rate has generally been falling over the last 10 years.
UK effectively banned guns, yet their gun crime rates continues to climb
What you suggest is about as practical as asking everyone on the planet not to breath for 2 minutes. Also you offer no proof that the absence of firearms will stop homicides, in fact guns are not the favoured choice of killers, knives and blunt objects are.
