From this point on the whole article is a bunch of BS.

Did you actually read the article? It wasn't until several pooints later that they actually reached a world with no guns, and they only did that by violating a law of physics.

Ok, here's what I imagine a world without guns would look like:

You're delusional. I prescribe 2 bricks of .22 and a landfill full o rats.

What a superb article. Bookmarked and bumped.

If guns had never existed we would still be British subjects. Actually we would probably all be Muslims under the sway of the Arabic armies that made it into Europe nearly as far as Vienna before being repulsed.

A world without guns would be a violent world that would enshrine unassailable tyrannies forever. No thanks

I'm with you, bro. I liked Abbey Road, but that's it.

Imagine a world w/o guns? It would be great for me...6-3, 260 lbs, martial arts training, Army vet. It would suck for women and smaller, older and younger folks. So...ladies, think about that and decide if a world without guns would be such a great thing.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Somewhere I read a quote that said "Those who pound their swords into plowshares will be ruled by those who don't"

Another good one is "The Meek Shall Inherit the Gulag".

Excellent article, BTW :)

Well, if all guns magically disappeared, the physically strong could victimize the weak, just like they did before guns were invented.

We could take over with a butter knife

Or a group of lunatics armed only with box-cutters could commandeer several commercial aircraft and commit an act of war.

Just to set the record straight. I’m neither “pro” nor “anti-gun.” My grandfather was Big Tim Sullivan. At no time did he ever hold a position within the NYPD. He was a state senator and U.S. Representative but never a police official.
