You can outlaw things all you want, but there will always be a demand for them regardless. If you have a demand, then you have a black market. If you outlaw guns and a black market developes, then the only people who will have guns will be criminals. If only criminals have guns, how are you supposed to defend yourself. We live in a world of kidnappings, home invasions, drugs, rapists, and serial killers. Its better to be safe than sorry. The only other alternative I can see is active gun control, and more stringent background checks. I dont see any problems with law biding citizens owning firearms.
