    No, all of them who own a gun will be illegal, a criminal. It's in the words, nothing is being hidden.

    Of course. Everyone owning a gun would be a criminal. Duh.

    this is ridiculous . your dream is to strip law abiding people of their ability to LEGALLY OWN GUNS
    thus you crave a society where only criminals are armed.

    I guess you don't know what law-abiding means.

    this is gone way beyond stupid
    you don't want anyone to be able to own guns legally
    thus anyone who owns guns in your ideal society is a criminal
    thus you want a society where only criminals are armed

    yet you keep denying that meaning you cannot even understand the ramifications of your own desired laws. It really isn't that hard to understand

    We do
    Let's assume that under your plan all current law abiding gun owners turn in their guns and all current criminals keep their guns.

    Who then will have guns? What will they do with them?

    Then nothing will have changed. All law-abiding citizens will continue being law-abiding and all criminals will continue being criminals.

    Criminals

    2). :arrow: Let's assume all current law-abiding gun owners keep their guns and all current criminals turn in their guns.

    Then all law-abiding citizens will become criminals and all criminals will become law-abiding citizens.
    Criminals

    3). :arrow: Let's assume all current law-abiding gun owners keep their guns and all current criminals also keep their guns.

    Then everyone is a criminal.
    Criminals

    4). :arrow: Let's assume all current law-abiding gun owners turn in their guns and all current criminals turn in their guns.

    Then there will be no more shootings! That’s a good thing, right?
    What guns?

    Let's assume murder should be illegal.

    How do you suppose a government gun disposal crew is going to get the job done without guns?

    That's the plan right Thingamabob? To send men with guns to take guns from other men.

    I think what has happened is that the point has been made, that his plan will result in a disarmed population of victims, who are helpless to deal with armed criminals and that appears to be acceptable to him.

    so your plan is dependent on people who own guns in violation of the law suddenly obeying a gun ban? If those people obeyed laws against assault, murder and armed robbery, there would be no need for your desired gun bans

    the only absurdity is thinking that a ban on law abiding citizens owning guns will disarm those who own guns contrary to the ban on criminals owning them.

    Under 18 USC 922, those with felonies, those under indictment, etc cannot legally own guns. Yet 80% of the murders-or more-are committed by those who were banned from possessing guns prior to their act of killing. Does anyone actually believe that a law that bans currently lawful owners from owning firearms will disarm felons?

    No, what they seem to believe is that they can repeal the laws of physics.

    Currently when you increase pressure on one end of a tube, the pressure tries to equalize and rushes to equilibrium. The new plan is that when you increase pressure on one end of a tube then flowers and confetti fly out the other end and chimes play God Save The Queen.

    That's extremely short-sighted.

    Call it what you like. It exists no matter what title you put on it.
    I don't know where that came from. Barking up the wrong tree?

    I don't know what your gripe is but I don't think you do either.

    well here is the issue

    we all know that criminals already own firearms despite felony laws against them doing that. So if you pass a law banning all private firearms, then criminals will continue to own them and those who follow the law will be disarmed. It is obvious that will mean a society where only the government and criminals are armed. Most rational people oppose such a scenario

    my problem is I don't have any use for weak arguments that ignore reality. such as pretending that banning guns will prevent criminals from having them

    A self-inflicted problem is entirely different. I can observe but I can't help you with that.

    you seem mad that your arguments were getting thrashed by several. so tell us, why would a gun ban cause criminals to give up their guns (which they own in violation of 18 USC 922)
