So it's all or nothing with you. people will always break the law so
making something illegal does not abolish the problem forever. It
only restricts those who are law abiding from taking those actions.
Making gun ownership illegal will only stop law abiding citizens from
owning them, not criminals. Criminals are the one that break the law
so it would do nothing to solve the problem.


No one is saying make their ownership illegal. That's just another
false "fact" in your diatribe.
