No, and here is why:
1) Banning guns does not take them away from criminals, which is exactly why you should be allowed to have one.
2) Guns are not the problem, people are. People are violent / crazy and will use anything at their disposal. I live in a country where guns are difficult to legally obtain. What do the locals do? They build their own one shot guns, they buy expensive 2nd hand guns illegally, and they stab the shit out of people and beat them with clubs. In fact, I've never seen a country where so many people get stabbed. They get stabbed because it is very expensive to get a gun and most people can't afford one.
I'm all for making it more difficult to get one, but that still doesn't stop a loon or a criminal from getting one.
The thing about guns is, they ALL have to be banned and taken away in order for a ban to work. That includes police and the military, who I may add is the #1 supplier of illegal guns to many countries. But if they could somehow dispose of ALL guns in the world, I would support that 110%.
Truth be told, if I want to kill you, there are lots of ways to do it. I could silently shoot 10+ people with a compound bow from the back row of a movie theater before anyone even knew what was going on. Crazy people are crazy and are going to use whatever weapon they have at their disposal.
I think the question to ask is, why do these people snap? Not should we ban guns.
