Criminals will always be able to get guns, by stealing them, unless they are 100% confiscated from EVERYBODY.
You so-called "gun control" advocates know that, of course. And so, you know your petty little "gun control" laws won't stop the bank robberies, assaults, forcible rapes, murders, mass shootings, etc.
You have had your laws in place for decades now. And the murders and mass shooting have continued unabated, and even gotten worse.
Your "strict gun control" laws won't work if they leave even SOME of the country's law-abiding citizens armed... since criminals can then still get guns by stealing them. And, being criminals, if they want a gun that's exactly what they will do.
And with 100,000,000 gun-owning households in the country, even a paltry 10% refusal rate for your (flatly unconstitutional) laws, will result in ten MILLION households keeping their guns.
But, surely you have thought of these things.
So, are you willing to send out thousands of SWAT teams to break down the door of every house of every law-abiding citizen who refuses to obey your "strict gun control" (aka total consfication) laws, and arrest the occupants while they thoroughly ransack the house to make sure they've got all the guns?
How long are you planning your reign of terror to last?
And, just in case any of those law-abiding gun owners decides to NOT submit tamely to the knock on the door (or were you planning on busting in without knocking, maybe at 2:00 AM, on everyone?)... how many thousands of gunfights do you consider to be "acceptable collateral damage" during the fulfillment of the wet dream you have expressed here?
How many of those 10,000,000 law-abiding citizens (more if there's more than one in each house) are you willing to kill, "pour encourager les autres"?
As your fellow jackbooted thugs pointed out when informed that their Fast & Furious plan a few years ago, would result in innocent civilians and/or enforcement personnel dying, "Well, you can't make an omelette without scrambling a few eggs."
How long do you plan to keep that as your motto?
Just asking. Because, of course, people like you will never answer.
What's to stop people from outside of the country from selling arms? How do you take guns from unregistered criminals? Why should I lose more of my rights due to the actions of others?
You know, you've actually hit on what I've been thinking for months. The gun control debate on the right isn't about fear of having their guns taken by the government, it's about having their guns taken by criminals. Right now, most criminals don't steal guns, they get someone to straw purchase or go to shady gun shops or gun shows or private parties. If laws are put in place to eliminate these avenues that criminals exploit, the fear of the right is the criminals will go to greater lengths to steal guns from law abiding citizens. This is the true reason the right is in favor of eliminating ALL forms of gun control. Twenty first graders be damned, as long as criminals and the mentally unstable aren't coming for their guns, they have no problem with them buying their own. After all, if criminals don't have guns, the gun nuts have no one to fantasize about shooting.

You really are a hopeless, frightened slave. Not only are you advocating the further removal of rights, you're begging for it. You don't believe you deserve the liberty to defend yourself and would prefer to cower in fear until help arrives.
Tell me why you think YOU should not be allowed to defend yourself.

North Korea is testing nukes right now. Should we throw away our own nukes even though they'll continue to have them and make threats? That's essentially what gun control is on a civilian level.
Of course they will, which is why I'm pretty confident a significant portion of the "gun control" crowd is actually a "gun ban" crowd.
But even with a 100% confiscation, criminals will still get guns. It's not much harder to get illegal drugs than legal guns.

Frightened slave, lol? What does that make the thousands of gun nuts that rushed to empty store shelves of guns and ammo in the immediate aftermath of Newtown? Frightened slaves of the fear-mongering NRA who were more than happy to line their pockets (as well as the pockets of their gun/ammo manufacturing buddies) with the money from all those sheep with trigger fingers.
First, I didn't even give my theory. I simply pointed out the real theory of the gun nuts... which is to open up the floodgates and give unimpeded access to firearms to everyone, including every criminal and mental patient. As long as I have a gun, no criminal/mental case will hurt me... just ask Chris Kyle how that theory works.

It makes them targets of your derision, smears, and namecalling.
In other words, nothing that they haven't been all along.
SSDD.
