Guns ownership should be illegal

Rebuttals "The second amendment explicitly gives citizens the right to bear arms in order to create a well regulated state militia for the sake of a free state." Well regulated? That's funny. The gun crime rate in America in 2014 was 10.54[1]. Yes it's not the highest in the world but compared to the United Kingdom which according to the Library of Congress "some of the most stringent gun control laws in the world."[2] it is insanely high with it's gun death rate being only 0.23.[3] "The reasons for such an amendment is to protect the United States from totalitarianism." Passing a law for the safety of the citizens is not totalitarianism. Just like banning murder. People thinking the government is in complete control because they do something to keep them alive is like a child complaining to their mother why they can't go to a party past 12. They aren't being a dictator they're keeping us from wiping each other out. "An armed person is able to better defend themselves than a person without a firearm." That's the problem they wouldn't need to defend themselves as often if gun ownership was illegal. 1,603 people a year die from accidental gun shootings[4]. This could be hunting accidents, gun cleaning malfunctions or someone hearing a bump in the night and reaching for their glock. "Gun control does not decrease gun violence." It depends on where you look. There will always be gun violence but the illegalization of gun ownership will help decrease it as a whole. Brazil has the highest gun death rate in the world with a rate of 19.42[5]. Their gun laws are fairly lenient[6]. While as I stated earlier the United Kingdom has some f the strictest laws and their gun crime is fairly low. "It would be impossible to ban gun ownership." Here I'm stating they should be not that they're going to be. Arguments 1.Accidental Gun Deaths Yes anyone can trip down the stairs and break their neck or drop a knife and get stabbed but nothing is as avoidable as gun misfires. If a child finds his dads gun in a shoe box in the closet and shoots his sister that could have been avoided by not having the gun at all. If the same thing happens with a knife well there's nothing you can do. You need knives for cooking but you don't need guns. 626 children are harmed by guns each year the number is even higher with teens[4]. All of this could've been avoided if you simply never had the guns in the first place. 2.Easier to get guns Let's say two teenagers wanted to murder their ex-girlfriends out of anger. If all they have to do is go into their dad's sock drawer and find the gun then out of adrenaline and anger they might actually do it. If they had to go into the dark web or some shady gang's headquarters they will be discouraged to do it. I'm not saying it will stop all gun crime but if it is extremely difficult to find guns then unless you're a mass murder or a gang it will discourage and prevent a lot of mass shootings like in malls, movie theaters and schools. 3.Protection People are carrying guns around and it's dangerous. It's so easy for a gun to misfire if someone forgets to put on the safety and those can malfunction as well. Kids are bringing guns to school almost daily[7]. They bring it for protection or from dares. If someone is bullying them and because of the idiocy of children they may bring the gun to school to show the bully who's boss. Obviously these have very serious consequences. Someone can get shot or the kid can get expelled and do jail time for it. All of which could be avoided if gun ownership was illegal.
