I don't care if assault weapons get banned... I don't think normal people need mega-guns aside from shooting stuff for much and a show of macho-ism. But but one aspect of guns, and Obama will come after another portion of it until all guns are banned. Therefore I will resist bans on any guns, but will support background checks, and the medical checks which sound like a good idea.

"Disarming the minority" would have to include the criminals, the police, and the military, etc. or safety of the majority could not be guaranteed.
Of course, it would have to be a global thing, to really guarantee any safety. No warships, missiles, bombs, cannons, warplanes, mines, booby traps, swords, sharpened sticks, any blade longer than 1/2", hammers, saws, nails larger than 4D, clubs including 2x4s, and clenching a fist or snapping teeth, kicking, and rocks larger enough to throw and damage would need to be broken, and all poisons rendered neutral, etc. Those that enforce the rules would first have to obey them, and use only reason to disarm the world so no one will kill another.
Otherwise, it is not really reasonable, logically.

Arming the populace does not provide any more of a guarantee of safety for the populace either so that approach can also be discarded as useless?

Yes.... And how many other people are using concealed weapons responsibly?

Does the site have a total of LEGAL CCW License holders, and the number of those, not illegal CCW, involved in crimes?
To arbitrarily say the "violence control center" is right and your CCW instructors are wrong is impudent.
Also, what is the number(A) of >legal gun owners, including police, gov't agents, and military<, versus the number of >illegal< homicides per year by these legal gun owners(B)?
That would give a more accurate picture of just how dangerous gun owners are to the non-gun owner population, which should also be given in hard numbers. (C)
Answer A, B, & C, please.
