I'd rather rid myself of the maniac. A maniac without firearms is still a maniac and likely going to "express" himself somehow, whether that's via a bomb, vehicle, knife, acid, etc. The UK has limited firearms, and yes, less shootings, but they have one of the highest rates of acid attacks in the world, and from the Sun "The total number of offences involving a knife or bladed instrument that have been recorded by cops in the year to March 2018 rose to 40,147, a seven-year-high.". How is this better?

The current system has its flaws, yes, but a firearms ban is about as logical to me as selling them at Mac's with no restrictions.
