That too... is a fact.



Almost totally meaningless, but it is a fact.



The debate should be what society can do about the criminal element that even now illegally owns guns.



If you pass a ban, there will be a lot of honest law abiding citizens that will line up to turn in their only means of defense against the thugs in the community, and against oppression by the government as well, while the gangstas and other lawbreakers keep theirs and get ready for a feeding frenzy.

Why do you have confederate flags in your avatar? Do you support slavery?



The United States did ban drinking at one point, but then repealed it because of the power it gave to organized crime. But this was back when law enforcement is not nearly what it is today, I'm not sure that the same thing would happen nowadays.
