Our problem isn't the guns, it's the intention behind the guns.   You don't solve a problem by banning.  That has never in the hsitory of this planet worked.  EVER.   You solve problems by learning the underlying motivations and dealing with that.

Bandaids don't fix a broken arm.

Surely it would work this way, with other illegal activity like drugs and prostitution then. Clearly the war on drugs flopped just like ban on booze in the 1920's

Now you're beginning to see why a ban itself simply won't solve anything.

Think of a parent with 2 kids.  One kid hit the other with a stick.  Does the parent ban all sticks and do nothing else or try to find the problem behind why one of them wanted a stick to commit violence in the first place?
