What is the problem with banning weapons? (piefed.social)

Sorry if this is not the place for that kind of discussion. I would like to be civil, please. Some people on Reddit were talking about how only dictators would want to disarm people.

Can I have some explanation on your opinion and why? I believe weapons should be banned and that crime should not exist in the first place. My opinion may change, but I believe there should somehow be strict rules regarding crime to reduce the amount of it and just have a place where it will not be worried about.

As some have put. Its ineffective in terms of there are always alternatives. I don't know many people who are ok for weapons to be allowed in all places. courts, public buildings, their own home against their will. I feel that individuals and locals should be able to limit them but they need to make rules for them being transported through and it should not apply to private property. So someone can have it in their home and if they want to bring it somewhere will need to do whatever the law stipulates for transport like tagging and appropriate containers and seperation of ammo and gun and such. They could then bring it to a place where it is allowed and take it out again.
