I am a 'level 7 top contributor there' so I threw in my voice, hopefully that stamp will carry a little bit of weight.
I'd suggest not posting answers to this if you aren't highly rated, all the kid will do is see too much stuff to read.
What you CAN do is register and then give my answer and other answers that support gun freedom a thumbs up.
Seeing 5-10 pro gun answers with 20 thumbs up will hopefully make a big impression, and it would be better than 20-30 pro gun answers with a handful of thumbs up and a handful of thumbs down
Guns should be illegal, makes life safer for criminals.
Guns should be illegal, it makes it easier for GOVERMENTS to commit GENOCIDE against it's own people. Examples of this are:
Ottoman Turkey 1915-1917 Genocide against the Armenians, killed approximately 1.2 MILLION after banning guns from them
Nazi Germany & Occupied Europe 1933-1945 Genocide against jews, killing 20 million of them, outlawed jewish ownership of guns in 1926 with article 59 &182
Guatemala 1960-1981 Genocide against Mayan indians, 150,000 killed. Banned guns, and even some sharp tools, in 1947 (decree 386), began confiscation in 1964 (decree 283)
Uganda 1971-1979 Genocide against opposition tribes who were christians, killed 300,000. Thanks to firearms ordinace 1955 and firearms act 1970 the goverment first registered the guns, then implemented warrantless searches and confiscations.
Rwanda 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi tribal people, killed 800,000 some estimates state 1 million. Decree-law No 12, 1979 required registration with a jutificaiton of need (all tutsi people were of course denied) all concealable guns were outlawed and confiscation powers enacted.
This doesn't count the 20 million political opponents the Soviets rounded up and killed after first removing guns, nor the 2 million pollitical opponents the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia killed after removing guns, nor the combined 40 millon the Chinese National government then the Chinese Red goverment killed...again, as each group got in power they stripped the guns from anyone not previously affiliated with their brand of government...then killed millions.
Hey, there are a bunch of dirty backwards ethnic groups still clinging to some dirty villages all over this planet. We need to take their guns away so we can more easily wipe them from the face of the earth. (note, this is sarcasm)
The ONLY justificaiton for making guns ILLEGAL is to make GENOCIDE easier.
The fact that this also makes life for criminals safer is just a side-benifit
