The truth is, thats not possible unless the government seriously went around and banned any possible way of getting guns and took every gun away. Then yes, *ideally* no one would have guns and there would no longer be such a thin as gun deaths.

Thats the *ideal* image.

While to many its whack, personally, if people are all willing to achieve it, rather than shrug it off saying its not feasible, then I think it *could* succeed.

There are many cases where guns NEED to stay out of the hands of people. For instance, just a few days ago, at Dodger stadium, a guy was killed (supposedly a Giants fan) over a fucking parking dispute. A FUCKING PARKING DISPUTE.

There is no fucking reason a 25 year old trying to enjoy his team should get shot dead over a damn parking dispute. In those cases, yes guns are to blame for even giving people a reason to kill.
Take away all legal means of getting a gun and what you are are left with are those that get their guns from blackmarket means such as the Russian Mafia. YOu are describing the situation in England. No one can get a gun LEGALLY. So the criminals still get their guns and shoot each other and regular joes. This is why the homocide rate in England is up 43%.
