Like the Taliban controlled Afganistan for example. Never mind that the whole
point of the MILITARY and POLICE carring guns openly was to make sure that the
citizens were unarmed and in fear for their lives. There is a reason that the
3 biggest supporters of gun control in the 20th century were Adolf Hittler, Joe
Stalin, and the Chinese Communist founder (Who's name I can not recall right
now.)

History and human nature contradict your views. I think it would be awesome if
we could actually live in the ideal world which you seem to think we are in.
(And I am being serious NOT sarcastic) Just remember here in the USA it is
easier for a criminal to purchase a gun on the black market than it is for a
law abiding citizen to purchase a gun through legal channels. You can pass all
the laws you want it will not stop criminals. Congress ordered an independant
study a few years ago. It was pidgeon holed because it contradicted with
Clinton's agenda. In areas with comparable crime rates and gun control laws;
those that have tightened gun owenership restrictions have increased their
crime rates, those that have loosened gun owenership restrictions have
decreased their crime rates.
