CMV: The costs of restricting or banning guns far outweigh it's benefits

The intent of the 2nd Amendment was to provide civilians power to challenge the government if it were to become tyrannical. Having a tyrannical government without citizens having guns would result in a far scarier and deadly outcome than the consequences we have today of civilians owning guns. 

Without a doubt, gun violence, especially mass shootings, are tragic events that happen as a result of civilians owning guns. Tougher background checks and the process to obtain a gun should certainly be improved upon, but to put a ban on all guns but handguns, or to ban guns altogether is not the way to proceed. A government in full ownership and control of guns would prove to be much more devastating.

There are also cases where there are mass killings of people in countries that have bans on all guns. There are cases of mass stabbings in public places where about the same amount of people die before the attacker is caught. As such, banning guns will not put an end to mass killings, though it might make it more difficult for the attacker to commit the crime. But the fact remains that it is necessary for civilians to own guns so that they can keep the government in check and may have a fighting chance against them if they were to ever arise as tyrants.

It's well on its way right now. The people with guns are largely standing *with* the government. Can you elaborate on how and by whom you imagine this playing out in reality?

This is a restriction on guns, which you seem to be arguing against? 

> A government in full ownership and control of guns would prove to be much more devastating. 

Any precedent or place where we've seen this happen before? 

> There are cases of mass stabbings in public places where about the same amount of people die before the attacker is caught. 

Yeah? Like what? 

> As such, banning guns will not put an end to mass killings, 

It will sure put an end to mass *shootings*
