Banning guns does nothing without removal of guns or enforcement of laws. Assault weapons are "banned" in California, has it stopped anyone from getting their hands on them? Extended magazines are "banned" in California, has it stopped any criminals from getting them? Almost every other day a criminal is caught w/ extended magazines found on them. A concealed carry permit is notoriously hard to get in California, and yet criminals still walk around with guns concealed without a CCW permit every day in California.

Banning guns isn't going to solve anything.

You have to ban them everywhere in the US. You can’t have them available one state over and expect a ban to do anything. It works really well, even criminals in the UK use knives for their crimes. Same with most of the rest of the world. You’re right there needs to be a removal too because we already own dozens of guns per American.
