I mean, that’d be cool with me. And for context I used to have a restricted license(Canadian) that allowed me to own pistols and the like. I enjoy shooting plenty but not at this cost.
I mean “everywhere” because of exactly what I’ve already said. If you ban handguns in Chicago but all someone has to do to get around that is drive out of the city and purchase it in a small town a couple hours away then what’s the point? There are plenty of ways around it at various levels of control when there’s such easy access closeby. We can all agree that strip-searching every car entering Chicago would be insane so the other option is to just not have the guns in the first place.
The point about it probably being stolen doesn’t really change anything. With this many firearms and relying on individuals to be 100% perfect there’s bound to be slip-ups and shady people spreading the weapons all over. You’re right that people should be prosecuted for not securing their weapons but what if they do and a thief just happens to be good enough or lucky enough to take the stuff anyway?
It’s a hobby but so many people have made it their damned personality that they’re willing to saturate their country with them and allow children to die at alarming rates so they can do something 100% optional. If people want to hunt they can use a fuckin’ bow.
