The UK is worse than South Africa for per capita violent crimes. You have a 22% better chance of being a victim in the UK than in the US. Again, so much for being disarmed and safe.
As for murders, the US isn't even in the top 40. We have less murders per capita than liberal utopias such as France, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Germany, Spain, Netherlands... and on and on and on
Hilarious tough talk from yahoos. So you think state troopers and military members would forfeit their careers instead of taking on a group of armed whiners from Texas?
In fact I know they would.. You are seriously underestimating the resolve and number of gun owners not only in the state of Texas, but nationwide... No trooper in his right mind is going to try and disarm everyone they come across in this state with a firearm.. The military would recognize that any order to disarm the citizens would be against the constitution which they are sworn to protect and defend.. There is nothing in the constitution about defending the president or congress...
...until you were robbed by a man brandishing a 2x4 with a couple ten penny nails in it.
"Yer money or yer life"?
Of course, then everyone would carry 2x4s with nails in them, until one day someone would create a 2x4 with a nail so big, it would spell the doom of humanity.
Oh sorry, another right-to-carry, trashy red state.
Anyway, the link confirms my point: several right-to-carry states have high crime/murder/homicide rates.
And Hawaii - the least armed state - is the safest one.
Thanks
And yet somehow the cesspool liberal cities have the highest murder rates in the country.
80% of the shooting deaths in the OP's hometown are drug\gang related.
So basically, what you are suggesting is that compliance with the removal of guns would be universal and that the people doing the vast majority of killing would of course comply along with every else.
That's my question for you.
Do you believe that the gangs involved in the drugtrade will follow the law and not have illegal guns?
Let's hear your answer.
Whoa nelly there. I'm not suggesting for one second that there is a correlation between WANTING guns eliminated and actually ever being able to achieve that. Your country has gone way past the bar of ever being able to achieve the latter.
War on drugs? Would that be anything like all the other laws ignored by your country like illegal immigration for instance? You've never really gotten serious enough to call any of the efforts to eradicate drugs or illegal immigrants to the extent you could ever refer to either as a war with a straight face.
Hell; enough of your domestic manufacturer's of firearms have now moved off-shore with their production and coupled with foreign makers; would make for an impossible smuggling situation to control.
Your criminals would find any number of ways to maintain ownership.
My post was addressed solely to the silliness of your "willingness to sacrifice lives" portion of your post as though the proliferation of firearms is NOT the cause of the problem in the first instance.
You have your present day problem BECAUSE of all those guns in the hands of people who should not have them.
Were there any hope of ever being able to control one segment while encouraging the other you'd have a win, win scenario, but alas.......!
Nowhere near as many as you're apparently willing to sacrifice to keep them.
Prove it. I don't give a damn about criminals who kill each other, which covers most non suicide gun deaths, the more the better, you on the other hand would obviously rather have honest citizens die.

Once it becomes illegal to own a gun, the felons, drug gang members, and bank robbers will stop breaking the law, it's only common sense.
Of course it is... unless I'm a liberal, then who freaking knows.
