>Well, what if NO ONE had access to guns? The problem with arming a society to protect itself is that the sheer
prevalence of them feeds on itself, and the final result is what we have now, an enormously high death rate due
to guns.<

Well, what if NO ONE had access to crossbows?

Well, what if NO ONE had access to spears?

Well, what if NO ONE had access to swords?

Well, what if NO ONE had access to knives?

Well, what if NO ONE had access to clubs?

Well, what if NO ONE had access to rocks?

Well, what if NO ONE had access to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream?
