But the question for the last two posters is were guns saturated in that country inside and out? You cannot issue blanket statements on hgow gun control works without also addressing the amount of guns in the country when the ban is enacted.

Meanwhile, a large proportion of violent crime in the US involves a gun. If guns were banned, a large proportion of violent crime would still involve guns. How long would it take for that number to decrease significantly without making potential victims sitting ducks? Furthermore, prohibition of an item creates a blackmarket, and we can't even secure our borders. Crooks would still get guns.
