All the countries with ban on guns have significantly lower violent crime rates than the U.S.
James Holmes, the Aurora Colorado shooter, bought his guns legally including an AR-15 assualt rifle. Adam Lanza who shot up Sandy Hook simply took his mother's guns that she had bought and owned legally.
Saying that a ban on guns wouldn't do anything is complete ignorance.

Banning guns still won't stop these types of incidences. The insane/mentally unstable will simply acquire other weapons, or get them illegally. Banning guns is one of those solutions that will keep the majority of everyone happy, but won't have a long lasting impact.
The best solution in my opinion, is to invest money into mental health awareness and free counselling/treatment.
