I disagree, as long as its down right. We're not talking about just having a stockpile of weapons for citizens to sift through, most lawmakers are intelligent enough to educate people as well. Look at Switzerland; their mandatory firearm law has made it one of the safest and peaceful countries in Europe.

It's not a question of what would be "Safest and most peaceful," it's a question of the government imposing unconstitutional influence over the citizenry. Owning a firearm is a right, it is not a requirement. They should not be able to force mandatory firearm ownership any more than they should be able to force the entire populace to practice Islam.
