OP, your a perfect example why some people should not have access to guns, so people like you do not have access to the power to push draconian laws.
Ignorance, intolerance and such idealism and obsession with peoples personal affairs with arms is more dangerous to societies development than any weapon.
Draconian as an adjective in English qualifies a rule as being of great severity, deriving from Draco, an Athenian law scribe under whom small offenses had heavy punishments. Draconian may also refer to

I come from a country that has banned handguns, but has very high rates of gun crime. The UK banned handguns after a terrible school shooting, but the legislation has not decreased gun crime nor violence associated with it. Indeed, gun related crime has increased.
A couple of posters have already made the point and with guns it is quite simple. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Secondly, anyone wanting to get a gun can do with relative ease. Remember, the UK has very strict gun laws, but if you really want one, you can arm yourself with pretty much anything you like. Well, I am not sure about missile launchers, but hey who knows.

When I say any kind of weapon, you can get anything from small caliber to full automatic guns. Believe me, gun bans are a bit like drugs. Prohibition drives the trade underground and compounds the situation because there is no record of what number of guns are in circulation.
I take the view of another poster here. It is society that needs to change.

You didn't respond to any question I asked you because you know I am right.
You avoid facts and make statements like the drug ban didn't work so this unrelated thing won't work.
You are a joke, you are a part of the downfall of society. You need to do some serious thinking?
Have you ever considered talking to a Psychologist about your beliefs and issues?

Here are some reasons I oppose citizens having guns.
