About crime: Call me a defeatist, but until we reach the thermal Heat-Death of the universe, where nothing basically exists because the entire universe will be identical, we will not have equality. While life still exists on Earth, there will never be equality, and there will be crime with humans. I know it doesn't take itself seriously, but there is one thing Team Fortress 2 got right (in Meet the Sniper): "As long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is going to want someone else dead."
Az: If I can implement gun laws on everyone (which I cant, Woeler), they would be this: When you are born, you start off with a clean slate. You can buy whichever gun you want as long as you have the funds. If you want a nuke, you will need to create everything yourself. Corporations will not be able to claim "individual rights" - i.e. companies will not be able to pool their resources to gather armies. If you want to own 'cool guns' and shoot full auto at a wooden target, I don't see why you can't. As long as you can afford it.
However, the moment you mess up even once, you will be highly restricted on what kind of firearms you can have. Say, after one crime, you can only have single-shot, large and heavy rifles that are inconvenient to hide. Mess up a second time, and you can't own a gun. If you get shot, that's your problem. But you can relax in knowing that the person who shot you won't be able to shoot anymore.
Reg: Yes, it is possible to cross the U.S. in 5 hours. But despite that, the states are still very much different. California did not get struck by Sandy, for instance. New York doesn't have to worry about Earthquakes. California has sales tax. Montana doesn't. We are very divided.
