I always love these retarded proclamations (which are almost invariably leveled at Americans). "Get rid of guns, amirite guise!?"

Sorry, I don't think so. It's a laughably fallacious assumption that outlawing guns outright will make criminals comply with anti-gun laws and deter crime. You know what deters crime? An alert and armed citizenry that's taught and trained to safely and effectively use firearms. You don't rob or rape when you know that the intended victim will put at least five pieces of screaming metal death into your chest.

As for the second amendment, it still is quite valid and not outmoded as many of you wingnuts like to argue. The powerful reasoning that our founding fathers employed in writing the original amendments is intended to protect the citizenry from an overbearing and unjust government, and even if we don't have one now (arguable for some), there's no guarantee that we'll never have one again.

Actually, wait, there is: the Constitution, including the second amendment.
