zero regard for the law when they shoot eachother up what exactly makes you think that a law banning guns would put a stop to their actions?

Before you get kneejerk like most of the "outlaw all guns" crowd does I am not saying guns = less crime. That is just as stupid as saying
guns = more crime.

All I am saying is that this whole "ban their tools" crap NEVER works. If people want to off others that badly they will find a way around it.

Remember when alchohol was banned once in this country? How great did that turn out?

I believe in restrictions and regulations, but I also believe at going to the root of the problem and that is not the guns that is the society that is the the thing that makes these people do this to one another be it poverty, desperation, or power THOSE are the items that should be addressed before blaming on something that is not a living entity.

Banning guns to solve the problem makes as much sense as saying we're going to address the threats on this nation by declaring a war on terror.
