True. But the U.S. has more guns than people. And a lot of them aren't registered, so law enforcement doesn't know they exist. Plus the people who own them won't just happily give them up. So if you ban guns, how do you reasonably plan to enforce it? (That wasn't a rhetorical question, by the way.)

That's not my main issue with gun control, but the way I see it guns are just a tool used to commit those crimes. You want to put a stop to it, you go to the root of the problem. Banning guns would be treating the symptom instead of the problem.
