There are so many reasons not to do this, if anyone needs clarification from me, just ask.

Since when the fuck do criminals follow laws anyway? I still trespass into areas that have a no trespassing sign, and I am not even an "actual" criminal, causing damage, stealing, or anything else.

Riiiiight... remember when they decided to ban drugs and now nobody can get their hands on any drugs? At all? Anywhere?

Neither do I.

Exactly, mind you guns are used defensively at minimum 300,000 times a year in the U.S. and at max 3 million. Around 50,00 people die annually from guns, and that can be broken up immensely, taking things like suicide and gang violence away to make the number a 4th or 5th of what it is. How about instead of guns, we ban fast food which leads to people's deaths(something like half a million!?!?!) through the fat ass American stereotype. Not really a stereotype now that I think of it, went to the beach today, and some people are "very confident"

World "leaders" seem intent on making this world into a fucked Mickey Mouse shell of its self, that's for sure. If anyone here hasn't seen the movie Demolition Man, you really should. On the surface it's an action flick with a sprinkle of comedy, but it's hilariously similar to the direction we all seem to be heading. Made in '93 none the less.
