That isn't the same for all. A 100 pound woman when confronted by a 150 pound
man with a knife is in quite a lot of danger...unless she is packing.
As to the way the UK did it, It doesn't matter how you ban firearms, the
criminals will get them, (they don't follow the law remember). It is
impossible to get rid of contraband, if it were, then there wouldn't be drugs
or any number of other things available. If you make guns illegal, then you
have a real problem, the criminals have the upper hand, and the law abiding
citizens are sitting ducks.
The idiots can still get knives unless you want to take those away as well,
and some big lug of an idiot (not making any association between large
stature people and idiots) will rape and murder with nail clippers, or bare
hands.
Look at the prisons, drugs still get in there, weapons are still made, and,
rape and murder still happens.
I would prefer to know that every citizen had a gun than to be certain that
the criminals were the only ones with them.
