The problem is that Pandora's box has been opened a long time ago. Gun Control is never going to work unless you can invent a magical device that can track down every single gun in the country, and then you'd have to invent the same thing for knifes, then fertilizers, then bows, then sharp pointy objects, then blunt objects.

Does gun make it easier to kill people? yes. Will banning them fix the problem? not in your wildest dreams.

'cause they tend not to have the training to effectively use precision weapons, thus shotguns becomes the weapon of choice.
