Never going to happen. Second sentence, same as the first. Take a breath, relax, think how utterly impossible such a act would be to enact in the US, short of martial law.

Other than that guns promote destruction...and why would anyone wanna do that?
So, you think wanting to maintain your right to have firearms in case your government goes rogue is a sign of our "fear" of our government?
And America itself was badly treated by the people who officially began this nation, the English.
It was our arms that drove your government OUT of America, and our willingness to fight greedy tyrants that won us our freedom.
for fear you lot might actually grow some balls and run the monarchy out.
We arent "afraid" of our government. We are armed so that they have cause to fear us if they get too pushy and dictatorial.
Your farmers have been managing their stock well to ensure a nice placid little herd. Wise on an island, I suppose.
Your country has been responsible for plenty of destruction, and your violent crime rates are still among the highest in the first world. The difference is you people throw bricks and spork each other to death now, because you have no guns, swords, and large knives. You certainly arent "better" less violent people just because you gave up your weapons.

Knives have plenty of uses - guns have one.

Why do we as a human race build weapons of the sole purpose of hurting others? Chances are an innocent bystander across the street from a knife fight won't get hurt as opposed to a stray bullet from a gunfight.
