1. All guns away
or
2. A gun of equal lethality for every person on Earth (with equal carry rights for all)
or
3. Other* Must explain!

Personally, I favor the "equality" philosophy. If military and police have access to assault rifles then so should civilians. But that goes both ways, if civilians have access to assault rifles, then we should raise the taxes until every police force has access as well. IMO it's the unequal armament that creates the most chaos and death.

I voted for other. Personally I think guns are too useful (hunting, empowering the weak, etc) to outright wish away, but I'd still like to wish away all concealable weapons and all automatic weapons or assault rifles.

So preferably if I had a magic wish, I'd wish for a magical ban on everything except bolt action rifles and pump action shotguns with equal rights and availability for all. Snipers would be nice to ban but I can't think of a way that wouldn't effect hunting as well (scopes are often needed for large game.)
