I never said anything about banning. I suggested universal background checks. Is that perfect? Nope. Reasonable? I believe it is.A way to keep it out of the hands of criminals? Realistically, nothing. A vast majority of murders involving firearms are drug/gang related and they get their guns illegally. A vast majority of the guns used in murders are also handguns.
In the U.S, banning things never worked out too well and only gave power to criminal organizations.
Mass shootings has a solution, but it involves getting the media to stop sensationalizing the shooters by showing their face and name all over which turns them into folk heroes for the insane. It gives them incentive for other wackos to do the same act.
