How can you say that the guillotine is inhumane and rarely decapitates on the first try?
It's a heavy steel blade at a free fall towards a human neck, as long as the guillotine is in good shape( oiled, sharpened and clean)the blade will drop unhindered from a high hight.
So in good conditions the guillotine would make a clean cut through or between vertebrates. In your defense the efficiency statistics during the French revolution and the aftermath of that probably don't look very good but that's probably due to poor maintenance between executions and not due to a flaw in the guillotines design.
You have to keep in mind the massive amounts of "conspirators" that were executed during that time period and that their remains could get wedged and stuck in the mechanisms and the executioner wouldn't bother to properly prepare it for the next execution.
According to science all humans come from Sub Saharan Africans, so your contention that they are inferior does not hold water scientifically.
Actually last time I read an article about human races was in an article from "Illustrerad Vetenskap", a Swedish science magazine, and it was mainly about how modern day humans had interbred with thereby creating a different breed but not different enough to be counted as an other race all together. This study also claimed that Sub Saharan Africans were untouched by the Neanderthal genome and that the highest percent of Neanderthal genes were usually found in Europe and the Middle east. There were also speculations of Asians being related to yet another species but it hadn't really been researched enough for them to post anything of interest about that in their article. This would mean that Sub Saharan Africans don't really have the same genetic composition as westerners or any human who has at least one parent that isn't a Sub Saharan African.
I fear that I might have been unclear you see I accidentally strayed from the subject but I only wonder if you honestly believe that in the future America will have truly benefited from your current weapon policy. And you are correct the US can't be seen as one country when it comes to laws but gradually change the approach to guns in individual states. I admit its a bit naive of me to think that your entire country wouldn't be pissed about one of there rights. I want you to think past the inevitable impact of removing a right and think of the benefits afterwards granted that you aren't launched into a civil war in which case you'd be screwed.
