Sure, if we could ban all guns, like South Korea, it would work. No more guns. No more crimes committed by guns. The only problem with this solution is: It will never happen in America. The 2nd Amendment protects against this. And the 2nd Amendment WILL be exercise should the government try to ban the 2nd Amendment. Unlike the other Amendments that rely on the 2nd Amendment to protect them, the 2nd Amendment protects itself.

> And the 2nd Amendment WILL be exercise should the government try to ban the 2nd Amendment. That can only be done via constitutional amendment. such an amendment could only realistically pass if the people actually want it. In which case trying to use guns to stop the process would be criminal, and for good reason. Unless you are one of those people who thinks the government is gonna bring out the army to start collecting the guns by force. In which case you definitely fall into the category of people who I don't really want to have access to firearms.

  Well, you're taking things I said to the extreme. When talking about these stuff, remember, we have to use common sense. Obviously, if everyone agrees, the 2nd Amendment will be repeal legally. But the problem is, not everybody will agree, due to the nature of how America was founded, and due to the importance of arms to the American people, the culture, the history, etc., no Congress will be crazy enough to go against the people and repeal the 2nd Amendment. And should the government try to bypass the Constitution, then obviously, people will revolt. Of course, nobody wants that. But that's what will happen. Can the people win a in war against the government? No. But a government that kills its own citizens in order to disarm them will no longer be viewed as legitimate by the citizens.
