Are you being sarcastic? I can not tell Did they ban guns in Chicago and Baltimore? What was the effect?

  Gun fans like to point to the evidence that banning guns in one city does no good, as those cities are still plagued by gun violence. Guns are easily brought in from next door, of course. This particular line of thinking is not very well thought-out as it naturally leads to “well, then we just have to ban them everywhere” which of course is the opposite of what those mocking gun bans want.

    There are so many guns in the USA, I think an outright ban will take 100 years to clear out gun violence. By then, it will just be replaced with something else. The government probably want's no part of disarming a bunch of 2nd amendment country boys, it just won't happen regardless of how bad our gun problem is. They need to start with not associating a 12 gauge with a 5 round magazine the same as an AR-15 with 30 rounds of hollow tips. Common sense is what is needed.
