Surely you're not serious? You think any government can prevent people from being violent towards one another? Or what that if the government would only take away those icky bad evil firearms everyone would be safer? Let's say they did, how would that make me any safer? Will a police officer instantly pop into existence where and when I need him if I'm attacked or mugged by someone. What if it's not just someone by 5 people? What if it's 2 people but no one is armed, do you think you can't kill someone with your bare hands? Or common objects?
This is completely off topic though, but i'd love to debate this in a different and new thread if you like.
To address the other post above, I'm not against new technology, just tech that seems to have a negative effect on society accepting responsibility for outcomes as well as being distracted by it. For example, come up with a new technology for propulsion that's more efficent and cost effective, hey I'm all for that! But say an autonomous car, hell no.
