I'm not talking about a country where there are weapons and you ban them, cause that doesn't work (bad guys don't just hand out their weapons) but about a country where weapons are banned and could be unbanned.
Here are the pros and cons I see in a country with ban on weapons:
-Pros
- Lower murder rate because knife are less deadly
- Less or even no mass shootings and no accidents like "4 year old killed brother playing with dad weapon"
- Less police kills because policemen don't have to be paranoid as 99% of criminals don't have guns
-Cons
- You're completely at the mercy of your government. You can't do anything against it as angry as you can be
- You have to rely solely on state police, which can be great but only if it's efficient
Problem to me is that the submissive state of the population is really a huge red flag. When I see how powerless European citizens are currently...
When you got riots government just increase number of policemen...
Would you support freedom of weapons trade in a European country without weapons? Considering freedom of trade doesn't mean without huge regulations of course.
