What if owning a gun was severely illegal in the US?

You mean private ownership, right?

Less people would be shot, but the fascist tendencies of some police officers would get even more out of hand.

^^^^This. I have a friend that is a cop and he says every time they approach a car they are worried about the passenger having a gun. He recommend the I put my hands on the wheel in visible sight when pulled over. The last two time I got pulled over, I did just that and the cops let me go with a warning.
Sure, let's go with that.

The crime rate would go up but it wouldn't be catastrophic.

An even more massive black market would rise? Aka, prohibition era.

That and massive inbreeding of Dobermans, Rottweilers and German Sheperds to meet the guard dog market.

Laws , just like locks, are made for the good guys, because the bad guys, apparently, have no problem braking them...

If guns were banned, we would have much higher crime rates, such as they have in Great Britain and Japan. Trust me, you don't want that. [/conservolibertarian]

Actually, fewer people would be shot.

No no, "people" is a conglomerate whole which is in constant flux due to some of it getting shot. Less of it would get shot if guns were harder to get.

What a ridiculous claim, but we expect this kind of stupidity from a gun-grabber!
Did you or did you not notice that more people are murdered by guns in Japan and Great Britain? It's a slaughterfest over there because they made the mistake of banning guns, which guarantees that only bad guys will have guns and that no one will ever be able to stop them, which increases the use of guns to commit gun crimes. You would understand this if you didn't let the propagandists in the Mainstream Liberal Media Conspiracy do your thinking for you! [/conservolibertarian]
