Keep on dreaming about your delusional reality. We spent billions on a gun registry in Canada, along with some pretty ridiculous laws, and it didn't help any of the 4 RCMP officers from Mayerthorpe.
Do I have to say it yet again? The majority of 'gun violence' is committed by people involved in illegal activities. In order to stop this, and to get rid of the guns these people use, you would need to make criminals compile with 'law.' Which is like I said delusional, because they are called 'criminals' for a reason.
I'm all for better background checks, more gun safety, perhaps more mandatory courses, along with the common sense approach of the people selling the guns saying no when they sense a problem with someone who wants to buy a weapon, but lets not be so naive to think that outlawing firearms will actually accomplish a damn thing.

Maybe I should have been specific(again)
and named "handguns". you will allways have an odd ###### bent on suicide willing to use anything to kill including a hunting rifle like the Mayerthorpe case.
Once again, handguns should not be a right, they didn't even exist when the 2nd amendment was written (unless you call a f'n musket a handgun) All your hyperbole doesn't change the fact that the US of f'n A is out of control with gun crimes and now it's starting to bleed into our country with about 10,000 handguns being smuggled across our border each year.
If you want an example of why a total ban works just look at Japan. Post war the Japanese were experiencing a brutal amount of gun related crimes because mostly the US soldiers brought them there, in 1951 the Japanese government implemented an old law with stiff punishments for possessing firearms and lethal weapons (except hunting firearms) the police have the right to check your house even if suspected of having a gun. guess what? Japan has the least murders and suicides on the civilized planet..coincidence?
