Banning guns is not the answer. I used to live in Chicago where guns have been banned for decades. Every Monday morning you can find a news article with titles like:
Nineteen shot in Chicago night of mayhem
Chicago Shootings: 9 killed, At Least 37 Wounded in Weekend Gun Violence
Fatal Shootings in Chicago Outnumber US Troops killed in Afghanistan
As of October 1, Chicago had over 400 homicides, mostly shootings. In a city that has banned guns for decades.
Restricting regular citizens from owning guns will not solve the problem.
