Funny, how your unfounded and ill-advised opinions, come across as so, matter-of-fact...Let me help you...
An unarmed America is a safer America.
...should be re-phrased to state, "An unarmed criminal element in America is a safer America."
But one doesn't become a criminal until one commits a crime... So, what's your point?

That is my point!
It is those who have proven intent, that we should be apprehensive of. Safety, is relative in respect to what you subject yourself to.
You are safer, in a warehouse full of guns, than in the midst of several unarmed criminals. Guns don't have intent to harm, although they have the ability. Criminals have shown intent, and use weapons to enhance their ability.
Unarmed criminals, will create a safer America! Not armed criminals and unarmed civilians; as to which laws banning weapons would ensure!

I've said it once I'll say it a thousand times.
In an ideal world, guns wouldn't and shouldn't exist - they are a force of destruction after all.
HOWEVER, having said that, answer me this Americans -
"Do you trust your government to have arms whilst you do not have any?"
Especially with acts like the Patriot act popping up..
Thoughts?

Spend some time in Afghanistan and Iraq and you will see what a few determined individuals with rifles can do to stymie the world's last remainnig superpower.

Here is the government's take: "OK you can keep your 'second amendment' but we want your assault rifles....(then) you still have the second amendment but we want your high powered hunting rifles with scopes as those could be used by snipers....(then) you still have a right to hunt small game and birds but we want your handguns because they are so easily concealed and the most popular weapon for crime....(then) you still have a right to self defense but you cant own 'semi-auto' firearms because someone might steal them from you and they will end up on the streets....but we will allow you to have a black powder rifle as the muskets were the firearms available at the time of the writing of the second amendment.....(then) bombs can be made with black powder and those rifles are still deadly so you no longer have a right to keep and bear arms."
