Let’s confiscate all weapons on the planet, except for the United Nations (someone would have to enforce this). That is the latest in Pope Francis zingers.
Do we really want peace? Then let’s ban all weapons so we don’t have to live in fear of war.

So, how are you going to get countries like Iran to go along with this? What type of weapons are we talking about? Whittle down the end of that stick and it might get confiscated
by the UN!
Needless to say, the pope’s simpleton comment was met with harsh responses:
Disarmament is not peace. There will always be a means with which to fight your enemies when you feel powerless- if not with arms, then with sticks or rocks, or whatever. Peace is when we choose to live in harmony because we can. Because we have the power to. https://t.co/0JIDvO8D0V

Seeing how cancer kills a lot more people than guns, we should ban that too. This is a great idea that somehow everyone has missed. We can just ban our way to a utopia on Earth.
