Secondly, banning something will never stop the supply, it will only punish those of us who legally obtain, shoot and collect. You'll never fix everything

True banning wont completely stop gun violence, it will how ever make it harder to obtain a gun. In the US an average of 340,000 guns are stolen from legal gun holders ever years.
These guns are then sold on the black market to criminals etc. This abundance of easy to obtain fire arms on the black market keep the price of guns very affordable.
Solution? Ban all types of guns not used for hunting. This in turn will make it harder and more expensive for crazy folk to get illegal guns.
The same thing happens in Canada, albeit a much smaller number of guns are stolen, but thats because there are far fewer gun owners here.
