    Agreed.

    There should also be no violent crime. No assault, rape, murder. No beatings, stabbings. No kidnappings, armed robberies, burglaries, arsons. No suppressiin of dissidents. No invasions or genocides.

    And when we finally achieve all of those, I fully agree: there should be no guns.

    Until that day, every political party should be pro-gun.

      Lol no. You won’t be getting a reduction in crime without a reduction in firearms.

        How does that work?

        I mean, the overwhelming majority of violent crimes are committed without the perpetrator being armed with a gun.

        Are you under the impression that the mere existence of guns leads people who don’t have them to commit violent crimes? What is the mechanism by which guns drive violent criminals without guns to violently crime?
