if the United States ban guns like so many people say we should, they'll all just go away right?

Just like illegal drugs and prostitution went away, guns will too if they make them illegal

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.

@BrandNewMan you have great guns 👍❤
@RosaMarie The US is 10x the population of many those places. More guns held in Houston and Dallas alone than ALL of Australia .. more illegally held guns in the US in all likelihood than legal ones in ALL those countries combined. You want to see the US become like any of the South American countries in any serious way?? Are you kidding me??

You are deluded to not understand the differences .. or use some of those examples.
