In the early 1900's the US gvmt. banned alcohol and effectively created the Mafia. Later that century the government declared war on drugs, spent 100's of billions of dollars and created the major drug cartels. Since the start of the war on drugs the percentage of the population addicted to drugs remains unchanged.

So, if we ban guns it is all but guaranteed that the result will be the creation of a black market gun cartel. The bad guys "will" have guns and the average citizen won't be able to protect themselves. Note, it is illegal to bear arms in Mexico. Has it stopped the killing?
