Gee, I guess gun control really works
Small islands of gun bans never work well. If the ban was nationwide and the penalties for violation severe, then it could have some significant effect, assuming the ban was there from the beginning. It's too late to ban guns now even if it was constitutional. What I'd really like to see is better enforcement of background checks, even for used guns, and some sort of licensing in every state. Our current ways are much too decentralized and unregulated considering the high number of criminals in this country.
