All guns should be surrendered and destroyed en masse. They are fun, but society would be happier, healthier, and with far less suicides and DA without them.

I've seen too many close calls to consider them safe for society at large.

Wouldn't that be nice?

But the truth would be: someone will find a way to make guns on their own, then the rest of us would be defenseless against that.

This is the reason why militaries have nuclear weapons despite wanting peace.

Someone where I live was charged with 3D printing a gun. I believe he got jail time

Which exactly proved my point. You can make your gun at home.

If you see one getting caught, imagine how many at large.

That sounds like FUD. Intentional?
