Why can't leftist understand gun bans only disarm law abiding citizens and not criminals?

Like when we banned alcohol and violence increased over that. How much more do you think violence will increase under a hand gun ban?

    Because it isn't true. Well-enforced nationwide gun bans do disarm criminals and reduce violence. Last hundred, or maybe 200, times that countries banned guns and enforced throughout their entire country, violence decreased.

    Did you ever think that this might actually be their goal? Their violence, hate, bullying, namecalling, is to bait and push the “other” side, which gives them more ammunition to push for their ultimate agenda: a socialistic/communistic one party dictatorship. Most of their followers have no clue about the real issues or the ramifications of their proposals. They are just trained to cause chaos and division.

    NO ONE is suggesting a gun ban. Gun ownership should be handled as the public health and public safety issue it is.

    Many gun advocates recently have pointed out "Well, cars kill people, too, so should we outlaw cars?" Here's the thing: with cars, we have passed laws making it illegal to drive while drinking or on drugs, requiring the use of seatbelts, making sure all cars and all drivers are registered and all drivers pass a driving and informational test, requiring people to carry insurance, requiring the auto companies to make cars safer with features like air bags, making drivers accountable for unsafe driving both economically and legally, setting safe speed limits, etc. And these laws have greatly reduced fatal car accidents and made our highways safer.

    So what would be wrong with passing similar laws to make guns and gun use safer?
