These things last a long time, but they don't last forever. They get seized or captured, lost, broken, etc.
Sometimes western society wants quick solutions that just aren't there, doesn't mean that changes can't be made in the meantime that will start the process and help down the road.

You have to change the 'culture' in the US. The majority of gun crime is committed by members of the lower class. If you can help many of them find a better way that drugs, gangs, guns, etc, etc.....then you'll probably see a huge drop age in gun related crimes.
