Maybe it just boils down to proper gun safety education.

I'm totally against guns, but banning or regulating them has just been shown time and time to practically none effect on murder rates. So if both the free and law way have the same outcome, then do the free way.

Well don't tell that to your gun, it might cry.

Plot twist: the schoolchildren are the shooters

What's more dangerous? Cancerous posters or terrorists?

Basically don't own a gun if you have a kid, or actually lock it away. No "getting rid" of gun won't work, it's impossible, the state is not god and can't do what ever it wants realistically.
Japan, suck it b*tches, they actually managed to ban guns.

Secondly, we could actually replace cars, but Americans like there freedom too much, and are unwilling to pay for a nation-wide trains system, and secondly driver-less cars should resolve 90+% of crashes, as these are due to human error.

On murder rates, sure. On accidental killing rates, which 75% of shootings in the us are, outlawing guns would reduce such a rate if you can actually ban them successfully(which should be possible, Japan did it).

Japan banned them effectively when they started coming in, stop using it as a example for the US to follow.

If you care so little about you and your child's safety that you would leave a firearm within the grasp of a child. You deserve to be shot, all it does is show natural selection at work.

I always find it strange that Japan still manages to have so many suicides despite having practically no guns. To put this into perspective, around 3.4 out of every 100,000 people are murdered by guns in the US. In japan, 19.4 people per 100,000 commit suicide.

It's pretty dumb to try to replace cars with trains since we've already spent around 600 Billion dollars on the best highways in the world.

That's mostly false. Handguns were banned early on yes, but rifles were allowed until 1971, and that law is still being grandfathered in. As such, it would be possible to move forward with such a plan in the US, passing a law that required the turn in of guns once the owner dies by the heirs.

Edit: Here's how to get and keep a gun with ammo in japan.
first, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you’ll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record or association with criminal or extremist groups, and you will be the proud new owner of your shotgun or air rifle. Just don’t forget to provide police with documentation on the specific location of the gun in your home, as well as the ammo, both of which must be locked and stored separately. And remember to have the police inspect the gun once per year and to re-take the class and exam every three years.

That's because certain regions of Japan and sectors of Japanese life can instill isolation, contempt and self-hate. It's the nature of a place with high living costs.

I always find it strange that Japan still manages to have so many suicides despite having practically no guns. To put this into perspective, around 3.4 out of every 100,000 people are murdered by guns in the US. In japan, 19.4 people per 100,000 commit suicide.
that's the impact of societal pressure to succeed academically, something else the US is missing, which while is a negative in terms of life, also results in a society where people are expected to be reasonably smart enough to be functional in an even further advanced society, so the price of human life to have a society without high school drop-outs(for the most part).

The Tokugawa shogunate essentially prohibited guns by extending gun manufacturing regulations to such a huge extent that they couldn't function. The Japanese post-Shogunate government was also very strict on guns, going so far to totally ban the Taiwanese from having them, which started a long guerrilla war where thousands of Japanese and Taiwanese folk died. Guess what, Japan didn't rise out of the sea in 1945.

So you want to make a "great" society for whom? What's even the point of such a "great" society when no one likes it? Who judges that that society is great? Sounds like a awful path and a awful goal.

I'm 99% certain this is a trollbait, but I can't be sure with people like TeamGuns.

Do toddlers shoot with the intent to hurt or kill? Are they able to demonstrate knowledge and consequences of their actions?

This has to be the most pathetic analogy I've seen. And I don't even pay much attention to gun control.

Good God.

It's a parody of D. Trump planning to bar all Muslim immigration ("just to get his bearings" or something like that).

Here's a solution:

DON'T LET YOUR CHILDREN NEAR YOUR GUNS UNTIL THEY CAN HANDLE THEM RESPONSIBLY

Here's a solution:

DON'T LET YOUR CHILDREN NEAR YOUR GUNS UNTIL THEY CAN HANDLE THEM RESPONSIBLY
