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

No total gun ban could succeed in the US, and in fact that's not what's being proposed on either the state or federal level. Work toward uniform gun regulations is focused on criminal background checks, control of automatic fire devices, high capacity magazines, and temporary confiscation of weapons from at risk individuals under "red flag" laws.
As far as getting weapons off the street, voluntary buy back programs are one strategy that can work if done right. When strict gun control laws went into effect in Australia in 1996, a nationwide buy back collected nearly 700,000 guns by 1997.

@GuiltyBiStander There are wayyyy more illegal guns in the US than the 700,000 legal ones bought back in all of Australia. It will only disarm the law abiding citizens .. no way I'm going for that lunacy.

Honey, you clearly have me on your mind, and that's okay. But don't break yourself pretending that it's not true.
Later gurl 😘

The contols you suggest already exist in much of the country and are not making a difference where they do. Why? Because the majority of gun crimes are not committed by legal gun owners or w legal guns.
What worked in Australia is highly unlikely to have the same outcome here. There are too many guns here .. especially illegal guns in the hands of too many criminals who will not turn their guns in.
Getting 20% on the dollar or less and lose the right / ability to protect myself ?
Hard pass.
