If somebody wants a gun, somebody is going to get a gun. There are many ways other than through legal avenues to buy a weapon. Of course, gun control would make it more difficult, and OP is correct: this does make a good case for implementing a stronger form of it.
Of course, banning guns all together is also a really good way to create a new black market opportunity, which, imho, make it a bad idea. We already have a War against Drugs; the last thing we need is a War against Guns.
Keep in mind that in most of the US, gun ownership is a way of life among every strata of society. They will not give up their guns easily, which is percisely why there will never be a full ban on guns in the US.

You can replace 'guns' with drugs, nerve gas or grenade launchers. But the US are one of the most violent countries in the world. Maybe because of the guns, maybe because of sexuall suppression (which leads to violence), maybe the combination of both. Why not ban the guns, shoot everybody who does not want to give them up (which would also solve some of the christian extremist problem), and make porn and sex more free?
It can't get any worse than it is now.

i think the idea is that all these supposedly "normal" people wouldn't have guns, only the criminals would then the "normal" people wouldn't create theese atrocities

What is totally odd about this discussion is that the link that was given was the school shooting that happended in Paradise Pennsylvania, In an Amish School.
The Amish are don't really have guns, A few of them may have hunting rifles, but your not gonna be able to find someone with a firearm collection, and even in this place where there is for a large part a self disarmament. Someone took a gun went into their community and shot up the local school.
If you were to ban all guns all you would have is a bigger opportunity's for criminals to cause mass causality without fear of reprival. |

nope, that is, what the police is for.
All the guns in the usa could not prevent any school shootings. Banning guns and giving the owners mandatory cement shoes, would prevent most of them.
And if a shooting happened it was neve solved by some brave citizens with their private gun cache, but by police forces. So remove the guns and you will reduce the risk.
And all that school shootings are only the tip of the mountain. Don't forget all the accidentally shootings, kids killing themselves or their friends while goofing around with daddies gun etc pp.

I was going to comment on this, but I think I'm finally beginning to understand. Americans have a fascination with guns unrivaled anywhere. Such a thirst for owning guns that if you make it illegal there'll be hordes of deprived gun owners trying to recover their damages on the black market. I've read people say this many times in the past, but I think it's just starting to dawn on me now.
It's very hard to understand this from a European point of view, why would you need a gun if you don't need to kill anyone? How does a gun in the house protect you, you shoot a burglar and you go to jail for murder. I still don't understand why you guys love guns so much, but I can see that you do. And thus it would be incredibly difficult to bring about a change of culture.

If you shoot a burglar in your house you end up with 1 dead burglar and 0 people in jail. |
