That's true, and I can't argue with you there. Banning guns would solve some problems, but you'd also be opening pandora's box.
Given the US' history with guns, banning them would almost certainly fuel a violent black market, making it easier than it already is for criminals to illegally obtain unregistered firearms. And with an estimated 400 million guns already in existence in the US, it would be really difficult to enforce, even if you did manage to pass a law. And loopholes exist like gun shows and private sales.
Regulating but not banning outright would be a slightly better solution, but it wouldn't be a silver bullet (pun not intended).
