First off guns if made illegal doesn't solve anything as most shootings occure with stolen or smuggled weapons. Second off your statistics are messed up out of 295 million not all own guns in fact I would bet less than 50% and most of the shootings i reffer to in the 1% are accidental ie cleaning a loaded gun or mistaking a person for game when hunting. further more even if guns are banned you next have bows then knives then clubs then stones you will never stop violent behavior.. Just look at the bombings that happened in oaklahoma city and abroad most were amonia nitrate and diesel fuel bombs which you cannot ban diesel fuel and amonia nitrate anymore than you can watter or eating.
