Sorry pretty common sense, at least the majority of law enforcement know that trying to ban guns in any form won't stop the criminals. Your delusional if you do.

If by delusional you mean examining studies from almost any country that has actually taken steps to reduce gun availability and reaped the benefits of substantially lowered gun crime then, yes.

We're all delusional.

Gun crime =/= crime.

Also... exatly what studies are you talking about... because generally the studies you read DON'T show that, and instead show that any drops in violenet crime were part of a trend of decreased violent crime that has been going on pretty much everywhere since the 80's.  

The only thing being lowered, is suicide as committed by guns.

I seem to recall you being Australian, so...
