if you had a way to magically make all guns on earth disappear would you do it
honest question
No
Since the start of the human race, we been advancing our weapons. From picking up a rock and throwing it at someone to using a strong animal bone as a club. As a species we have always looked for a better weapon and we likely always will. If you took all the guns away, we would find something else.
Case in point, the UK. They took guns away. You know what happened? Gun crime dropped but other violent crimes rose.

Now back to the race war, leave guns out of it.
Correlation doesn't necessarily equate to causation. You can't just say, "well there were more homicides after guns were banned, therefore guns don't reduce homicides." There's no way to tell from a simple graph whether there are other factors playing in.
