Reply #17: Banning guns, while logical, simply doesn't take into account American culture

[Selatius]

Guns are ingrained into American culture. It is a bit like asking Germans to give up highly engineered automobiles and the Autobahn. It's not something that will be accepted.

What can be done is strong regulation and gun safety/training requirements, though. Switzerland already proved that, and their tight regulations put America to shame.

Also, there's the issue of banning guns itself. If guns are banned, the criminals and gangs won't listen to the law.
