Re: Do Fewer Guns Mean Less Crime?

Supply/demand of market doesn't matter, the only thing that matters are the rights of the individual. You don't address all my points, and just repeat the same garbage as before. Collectivism sucks, once you glance over the rights of the individual you'll start doing bad bad things. You are looking to punish me for actions not taken by me. There will be crime, and allowing guns means there will be gun crime. But only the individual making the choice to commit crimes with guns can be rightfully punished for infringing upon the rights of others. You can't rightfully punish me for exercising my own rights when I have done nothing to infringe upon the rights of others.

You don't like guns, you don't like the effects of allowing guns in society, you are looking for ways to infringe upon the rights of the individual because you don't like the collective result. It's called freedom, this happens in free societies. You can either engage in treason and tyranny against the People as you call for, or you can accept and shoulder the consequences and responsibilities that come with being free. I suggest the latter.
