I completely disagree.

only full ban on all guns reduces homicide.

Here in the UK with a population of about 70 million. We have on average 25 gun homicides each year.

Over there in the USA with a population of about 350 million. they have on average 12,000 gun homicides each year.

USA = 5 times the UK population but 480 times the amount of people killed with a gun

simple maths says guns are not good.

give people guns and they will shoot other people. Its not that hard.
