The entire population. If a certain group of people had to be banned it should be people below a certain IQ and certain levels of anti-social behavior because the problem is people like that. Yes, blacks on average are more like that than other races, but the real issue is those traits, not melanin.
Of course putting that screening in place would require hiring a lot bureaucrats to formulate and administer said tests in whatever form they might be. It would be easier just to restrict guns (based on background checks, type of gun/ accessory, etc.) or ban then.
The entire population would, presumably, include police officers and the armed services?
I mean the civilians. Obviously, the military and and police should still be armed.
So there should be two classes of Citizens:
Government employees, who have the right to bear arms.
And, private sector employees, and the unemployed, who do not have the right to bear arms.
But there's lots of evidence the police are the ones who give inner-city thugs guns and ammo. So wouldn't they just... continue this behavior even if you banned guns?
