Yeah, it’s not a perfect world. I can see why ‘banning guns’ would look good on paper, but if people can get them illegally now, they’ll still get them later. This is one of those stupid laws that would just further waste state/federal money trying to uphold/maintain. The only way, is education. However, I think our society as a whole is past that point. If we haven’t learned how to be civil towards the human being next to us and instead resort to rob him, shoot him, stab him, rape him, etc. by now…well, frankly, we never will. It’s a shame that we have such douche’s out in the world.
