Imagine a United States back in the preindustrial revolution... actually that sounds alright to me, no more American 'supremacy' threatening to plunge the whole world into a nuclear winter

I have to agree on those and I agree they should be banned, the reason they are not banned is because they are too profitable (isn't it always profit over lives though, that's called capitalism)

uhm, what's that got to do with preventing deaths? Although having said that, religion should be banned worldwide, that would save a hell of a lot of lives across the globe, no more putting women to death for refusing marriage, no more killing of LGBT+ individuals, no more 'holy wars' and a reduced incentive to fight with other countries or indeed your neighbour

nope. look at the deaths in other 'developed' (and a fair few 'developing' ones too) countries around the world... a lot less, the only difference between them and the US (since they all share a capitalist culture), the gun culture only found in America
