Guns [Politics/Religion]

The only problem I can see with a ban is that it simply will not work.  How's the ban working on drugs?  They're illegal, yet people still get their hands on them.  I'm going to veer of topic for a bit here.  We'd probably be better off legalizing drugs.  Think about it, the gangbangers wouldn't have the drug turf to fight over.  The gov't could tax it and regulate it in the same manner as they do alcohol.  Back on the gun topic.... Sure, you might get the law abiding citizens' guns out of circulation, but the thugs aren't going to just walk into the police station and hand over their weapons.  When I do get my weapon of choice, the only way I will give it up is when I am dead.
