Of course not. But, over time, the availability of them would decrees. It would not make a difference on day one, nor in the first year. No one is claiming it will except for people using it as a strawman argument.

@RosaMarie It made a huge difference almost immediately in the UK, though, when guns were banned within a couple of weeks of the Dunblane massacre in 1996.

@BrandNewMan There are directly comparable examples all over the globe. Canada, UK, Australia, almost every EU country.... none of those countries are being overrun by criminals with guns turning on the unarmed populace. That's only happening in countries in Africa and South America, where the government is less stable and more corrupt. But maybe you see the US as more similar to Africa or SA, than to other western countries. Otherwise, your statement is meant to scare but is not supported by actual examples or evidence.
