And there are plenty of examples that still have mass shootings because there is a black market in weapons.

You'll never completely eradicate it without completely eradicating guns... however, the black market is a much more difficult way to obtain them than general sale. Hence the US has a much bigger problem than many other places.

The issue is that the people who do these crimes are the ones with access to the black market. The other portion would be happy using some other effective means like a bomb or a fire. I wonder how many people would've gotten shot by Breivik if at least five percent of the hundred or so on that island had a weapon. I think while gun bans help decrease the number of mass shootings they also increase the  number of deaths per incident.
