What if America banned guns?

What if America banned guns?
Well I'm a Montanan.
So my options would be kill the few cops that would actually enforce gun control, or just kill myself.

Hard choice.

Personally, I can see this having lots of Pros and Cons.

On one hand, there would be less School Shootings, Murders involving Guns, Violence involving guns, etc.

On the other hand, however, this would prevent Citizens from protecting themselves. If Policemen are also banned from carrying guns, this could prevent them from properly carrying out their duties, and may lead to more crimes.

I, for one, do not believe the US should do this. Yes, it would most likely decrease gun-related violence, however, it would also most likely lead to an increase in crime.

Plus criminals won't hesitate to buy guns illegally.

Probably not tbh. Many would, but large amounts never would.

That’s why I added the maybe at the end. I guess that way of thinking continues to be alien to me because back home, we don’t view the ability to own guns as necessary or intrinsic. Granted, it’s not that I ignore this is constitutionally protected.

Well, it's like removing the ability to drink beer in Prague. It's gonna lead to some trouble.

They do that now anyway but point taken.

But back home your people were and are still willing to fight for the things they do view is necessary and intrinsic.

You live in the Great Plains and have internet?

What weird alternate universe have I transported to?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting not to fight for your rights... “to paaaarty!” Ok, sorry. Do, if that’s what you as a people deem necessary. I’m just stating that the idea of the USA about fighting to keep guns is alien to me. Nothing more, nothing less.

The United States in the year 2019.
Heck, I'm even doing this using phone data.

Oh, I understand, just pointing out an oddity in people. While they vary from group to group, a group's willingness to fight and die for that which it considers necessary is seemingly universal.

...are you sure we're talking about the same US? Every US I've been to so far has the middle east either a nuclear wasteland, overrun by the zombie apocalypse, or a safe haven of the remaining human populations after the Great Robot Revolution because they have no internet.

I've said too much, haven't I?

It's okay. It's alien to pretty much anyone who isn't American.

[Inkopolitia]

Doesn't Switzerland have compulsory gun ownership for people who have done military training (Basically everyone that is a guy over 18, because it's mandatory)? And as far as I know, it's one of the most peaceful countries of Europe. I'm pretty sure America's gun violence is something that is caused because there is something wrong with American society, not because America has guns.

I just reread my post. My grammar and syntax sucks today.

There is no need to continue an imaginary universe in the middle of a serious forum thread.
This is real life. Kinda.

Eh, in most states you're dead anyways so...

It's definitely a problem with our society, but gun rights have been so ingrained that you'll either have to reform it slowly or make it completely collapse (kinda like the USSR come to think of it)

Yes, although it's not exactly "yokel army defense force".

Yeah, I don't get why people say that guns are the problem when they're not. I may just be a 14 year old girl who can't own a gun, but I believe that taking guns away from the people is a form of authoritarianism.

like i said, nobody's felt genuinely happy since then

Bro... what if we just died in 2012 and spawned in Heaven? And the people who spawned in Hell have to endure having social media exclusively talk about politics? Bro...

As a 22 year old man who still plays Pokémon, Splatoon, Minecraft, and Smash on the daily and has the humor of a high school softmore i agree with you completely
