No Guns

A world without guns would mean no militaries or police (as we know them).  Martial arts might have to become a required course at schools.  People would carry around knives, more, I guess; and criminals would make their own guns, I would imagine.  But if the entire planet turned in all their guns… the governments of the world would also have to destroy their nuclear arsenals, to not be hypocritical, right?  All the bombs and tanks and mines and grenades and flamethrowers and whatnot would have to be destroyed and dismantled, too.  That doesn’t sound like a bad reality, to me, to be honest.  I don’t need my president to have nuclear capability to feel safe and secure.  It just gives the right to other sovereign countries to have their own nukes, which makes me feel less secure, actually.  Hunting is unnecessary.  If you want the thrill, you can use paintball guns.  If you want the meat, you can go to your butcher.  And if you need someone killed, you can look them in the eye, and poison them or twist the knife or something, without the scenario being depersonalized like in a video game.  If you have to get bloody, maybe you’ll think twice.  Live and let live.
