So I was thinking about all this talk of banning guns. If they ban guns do you think that there will be an increase in knife violence? I do. I know it If you are going to kill someone you are going to do it. Murder has existed since the first family. It will always exist. It is already against the law to kill someone. So by outlawing guns you are just taking peoples rights away and leaving them defenseless to someone can simply print out a gun and kill you anyways. It is pointless. Or is there an ulterior motive?

1. Would there be an increase in knife violence if guns were banned. (note you are dumb if you think they will stop with the guns currently targeted).

2. What is that ulterior motive?

"They" won't ban all guns, not even most guns. So the question of knife violence is a completely different matter.

I certainly do not have many answers with regard to gun control ......

But I do believe that there are some steps that can be taken that might make some sense, from a big picture perspective.

For instance, effective at a certain date in the near future, all firearms must be registered. The registration must be renewed each year, and a registration tax must be paid. Additionally, all gun owners must pass a competency test, and carry specific liability insurance.

In the course of normal law enforcement, when guns are discovered, absent valid registration and proof of insurance, the individual in possession of the firearm will be charged with a crime, and the weapon in question would be confiscated.

Obtaining a firearm would become much more challenging, requiring a more in depth background check, including medical and criminal history, and a semi- annual drug and alcohol screening. (at the gun-owners' expense)

Qualifying for Concealed Carry permits would require additional proof of competency, higher levels of liability insurance, a more thorough background investigation and registration with law-enforcement.

Reasonable?

I guess the silly question I have is how do you plan on making all the criminals register their firearms???

All you are doing is making it harder for the average person to defend themselves adequately from the people I mentioned in the above sentence... And if you think the police are going to solve the problem by responding faster well that ain't gonna happen either, some people live "HOURS" from police response!!

Of course I know you don't see it that way because you think that what you think is right even though it's wrong, and that you also think money grows on trees!!!

I KNOW! I KNOW! I KNOW! CALL ME! CALL ME!

We just make it illegal to have unregistered firearms.

See how simple this is?

In EVERY sense of the world "simple".
