There's no point even talking about banning guns in the US like they have in some other countries. Before they even banned guns in the UK it was very difficult to obtain a permit to own one, you had to be a member of a gun club (Which there are very few of) with no legal record etc. Pass a background check - Wait a few weeks. Not like it was possible just to walk down the street and buy one, or walk to your local Supermarket and buy a shotgun. Guns are to prolific here for it to be feasible to ban them.
