Everyone chose to ignore GOAT's post because they don't seem to be able to refute it I see. Typical question dodging going on from these types of people.
What do you honestly think is going to happen to all the guns if they get banned? They aren't going to just vanish. That isn't how this works at all.
Drugs are banned. Wow there sure is a lot of illegal drug usage by criminals who don't care for the law. I sure do wonder if the same criminals who don't care for the law are going to give up their guns because the law tells them to. I'm sure the defenseless, gunless, law abiding citizens will feel very protected when the criminals who don't care for the law storm into their homes and rob it at gunpoint with no opposition whatsoever.

It would be impracticable to just ban all guns and I don't know how it would work exactly, but in the long term I can see it being possible.
When it comes to crimes such as theft there won't be a massive reduction because as you said people can access them the same way they do drugs. Mass shootings are different though, they're often committed by mentally unstable people who would usually care about the law and have access to guns because the law allows them to. There was a pretty horrific school shooting in the UK in 1996, from that point on handguns were made illegal to own privately and since then there haven't been anymore school shootings. I'm not saying gun crime is just going to shoot down, because it's not. I just think that any sort of reduction in gun crime, especially things such as mass shootings (
which are a massive problem in the US) would be seen as a success.
What are the benefits of having limited gun restrictions anyway? All I've heard is people say that it gives them freedom which to me is just bull****.
