You miss the point it works in every coutnry it has been tried. Tell me a country where that is not true!

What guys like you do is think stuff up to rationalize your position and then say it is true. But you don't actualy know if it is true.

In Japan they have almost no guns at all and they have something like 4/5? guns deaths a year. Almost none.

Take all the guns away, except hunting rifles and gun deaths will drop greatly. Hunting guns can be used for hunting and self defense, but they cannot be hidden like hand guns and cannot shoot a zillion bullets in a few seconds.

It sure worked well in Australia when they did it!

Rifles are all we need to keep legal.

Hands guns have no use at all I can think of. Except to kill people.

Make a law that people who have a hand gun go to jail and then have a buy back program. That would work.

There are so many guns in the US they are easily smuggled into Chicago.
But isn't that illegal - isn't murder illegal as well. You miss the fact that it's criminals that use these guns for murder and they will always get them from somewhere. While you try to disarm the law abiding public you make things easier for criminals. Australia doesn't live next to a third world country that imports drugs, guns and people into their country illegally everyday.
