> but the priority should be to stop selling weapons to people who obviously doesn't need them

If the government uses them, why not law abiding citizens? It's not like guns will disappear forever, they will still be in possession by government and anyone who wants to break the law. Regardless, you can never control anything 100%, people will STILL have guns, one way or another, just like anything else that's illegal but still exists.

> but criminals are also people; they only fire their weapon if they feel they have to.

Yes, when they feel like they have to take your stuff.

I think my basic point is that police is not efficient at solving crimes or preventing them, and that is a higher priority than preventing people from owning a gun because they could potentially get radicalized. Let's see crime under control first.

Crikey, you must be some kind of special stupid.

Are all countries "law abiding" when it comes to use of weapons, you think?
