It should be pointed out that 'banning guns' is a loaded phrase when talking about gun laws.
Here in Australia gun laws removed stigma about gun ownership and we proudly have more guns than ever http://louderwithcrowder.com/australian-gun-ownership-rises-... (linking to a pro gun blog so you can laugh at how they try to claim more guns in law abiding hands as a failure of gun control laws).
I suspect this kind of thing is why gun laws are the way they are in America. Whereas I see it as a nuanced debate akin to driving regulations Americans seem to view it as 'banning guns' vs 'not banning guns'.
