"Society will be better once they're banned/replaced by autonomous driving vehicles."

Do you feel this way?

Driving - Probably, but I still rather drive myself

Guns - Probably, but I dont really care that much

Smoking - Probably healthier. But many things would make the world healthier that I wouldnt give up. I dont smoke, though. So I dont care as much

You left out drinking. Get rid of drinking and 90% of society's problems would be fixed. A quarter of all crimes are committed under influence of alcohol, half of all domestic abuse cases involve alcohol, I've seen statistics suggesting that more than half of all murders involve alcohol but I would need to find that again. (Then something like half of all rapes involve alcohol? And that's not even going into the fact that alcohol was deliberately used to destroy minority communities, including Native Americans.)

Honestly, the one, biggest problem has been omitted completely. Sure, self-driving cars would be a potentially huge step in the right direction, but alcohol is responsible for more human suffering and misery than everything else put together. Smoking is just a drop in the bucket.

I mean, they tried getting rid of it once, and it didn't work. They probably still wouldn't be able to get rid of it these days...

Part of that is probably because people spike drinks...

Something the stupidity and irresponsibility of others have proven we cannot continue to have in a sustainable society.

Not autonomous guns, just replace all the guns with autonomous vehicles. It doesn't sound like the most ergonomic approach, but I'm not here to judge.

The early stages of such vehicles i would expect to be kinda shakey but with the kinks worked out absolutely. Have some areas set aside where people can still drive out of interest if they wish.

Guns? So long as the ban isnt followed by an attempt to collect them all then eventually i could see it helping as they slowly trickle out of circulation. Trying to forcibly take them would likely cause a more notable death toll than the collective shootings though.

Smoking though id be kinda curious if a ban would be good. If not replaced with something thats less harmful or outright good if possible i could see people simply switching to something worse.

We just need to get rid of free will. Free will is at the root of all society's problems.

Either that, or we should just ban conception. After a few generations pretty much all our problems will be solved.

And that is exactly what would happen if people tried to ban guns in the US. It would be like Prohibition. Criminals would profit immensely off of the now-illegal guns and would still be, you know, bad people with guns. The type who might murder people. Disarming law-abiding citizens while criminals hold onto their guns doesn't sound like a winning strategy. It also doesn't help that there are more guns than people in the US.

Society is worse when restrictions are put in place. It's more functional, but shittier. Like a company.

This is true. The criminals would still have guns. Many already have illegal guns, so things might not really change for them

Yeah. Thata what it feels like, tbh Taking away things you dont like because you think it works better. Or that everybody who does one thing must also do other thing

There are already hundreds and hundreds of patterns available. Very recently someone put out a functional bullpup system.
