Well, no. Not exactly. We already have a huge number of guns in circulation, and banning them won't get rid of them. My thoughts on the subject are purely historical: no, I don't think there's a fricking conspiracy. Conspiracies are kind of rare. I don't think guns would reduce suicides that much.

Bombs are used in mass killings all the time?

I linked the song because it's a song. Don't read too much into it.

Here's another song about guns.

It will, long term.

No the guns won't be gone the day after the ban, but for reference until dunblane the UK had incredibly lax gun laws. How many are there now? For clear reasons this isn't a straight comparison, none the less the point remains - good social engineering with a goal of eventually reducing to negligible numbers the firearms in circulation is certainly possible, albeit difficult. Politics not practicality is the issue there.

Suicides would drop tremendously. We perceive suicide as solely being the product of long term, well planned out, act of desperation. This isn't really true. And by banning guns you reduce one of the easiest most effective methods of spur of the moment act. You would think other methods would be used, but for whatever reason, they're not - or at least not to the same extent.

Don't have the stats to hand, however, are you really suggesting that explosives are used even close to the same extent as guns in mass killings, interpersonal disputes, etc? After all, no-one is saying banning firearms is the perfect solution and no harm will ever be done again, just that it reduces it.
