Well I didn't say you couldn't fight. My proposal includes confiscation. Assume very aggressive pursuit of criminals with an unlicensed firearms. Like multi-county dragnet with blocked roads. Like we get O(100) cops for one gun. Most criminals will just probably keep it to cold arms.

How exactly are you going to fight armed criminals with just your hands or a knife?

Confiscation from lawful gun owners, why, what crime did they commit?

People with guns lose fights too. Cold Arms are easier to assess and much easier to run from. Who said anything about a crime that's like asking in the current regime cocaine users what crime did they commit. I'm not suggesting arresting them. I want their weapons. They aren't using them to defend against tyranny so what good are they.

People can lose if they are armed or not armed so that is not valid argument for not taking up arms.

> They aren't using them to defend against tyranny so what good are they.

They are using it to protect their homes and stores from rioters so they are atleast doing something.

Its very easy to say take away their weapons but you dont provide a realistic solution for defending life and property.
