<<Removing guns(alcohol) from society eliminates the problem since there will be no guns(alcohol) to steal, thats the point. Unless you have a better solution to the gun(alcohol) proliferation problem... lets hear it then>> Just thought I'd change this arguement so that it represented the 1920's. Oh, and as for a solution, how about an armed population. That way, when a crook tries to shoot someone, they get gunned down. Problem solved. It worked wonders in Israel.

2 points, first, pezz is not for eliminating guns altogether. Second, there is no way to eliminate guns. Want to know one of the main groups who's against banning guns? Women. Sure, ya got the NRA, hunters, etc., but why women? Simple. Self defense. As a general rule (there are exceptions) men are more physically stronger than women. A male attacker will typically be able to overpower a woman. Your logic is still faulty. If we ban guns, the criminals will still be armed, because as I said, they will be obtained illegally.
