but the "bad guys" will still have guns. I think it is important to be able to defend yourself.

It is important to understand that any law restricting weaponry from law abiding citizens does not apply to those who do not subscribe to the law.  Once all the guns are taken from law abiding citizens, then the only people who will have guns are those who do not abide by the law of the land.


In other words, we will be like British subjects. No way to defend our freedoms, nor our own personal ways of life.

the british are fine tho.

no offense, but americans make these kind of weird arguments way too often
"If we had gun restrictions, it would be hell on earth! Look at iceland! Death death death!!!"
"if we had free healthcare, it would be mayhem and chaos! look at norway! dead bodies everywhere!!!"

no.
we're fine :I

Though what most Americans don't understand is that their biggest enemy is the American government, not burglars or foreigners.

Henry David Thoreau complained already more than 150 years ago that most Americans thought that the right to keep and bear arms was there to kill Indians, highwaymen or people you held a grudge against in duels, not to kill tyrants, which is the real reason that it's there.

that is a point.
if we've learned anything the past few decades is that the american gvt IS more "sinister" than, say, the icelandic government.

the icelandic government never prepared gigantic prison camps, just in case, for example.

What does that mean?


Are you saying that, since you have never had guns and keeping it that way is the same as always having guns and suddenly deciding that no one can have guns? 


There are already millions of privately owned guns in this country  (some of which can take out moving vehicles and lay down multitudes of well armed infantry).  Making a law that says "NO MORE GUNS,"  will never work, here. 


I for one will never give up my guns and I am mostly a law abiding citizen.
