It is clear that your perspective in life is one where "guns should be banned" but I bet you believe "government should have guns". This creates an unbalanced system in itself, but perhaps what you really want is a system where the guns are put in the hands of people who are up voted. Perhaps only the top N people by total approval voting should have the power to down vote.
This kind of representative government would suffer the same problems that our governments suffer today. The people who are given power do not pay the price for their abuse of power. The worst that happens is they get voted out.
The current system is unbalanced, but only because people can shoot from behind a shield where they cannot be hurt. People will stop shooting as soon as they risk retaliation.
You don't go into a bar full of armed people and shoot someone unless you are sure everyone else in the bar is on your side. Gun crime is only a problem if people can "get away with murder", if the probability of getting caught and shot yourself is high enough then you will behave.
Unlike the use of guns, the network has the ability to "heal" those who are shot and compensate them for the abuse they suffered from the less civilized among us.
