Prohibition Always Works.?
It is 100% impossible for me to buy marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or any other drugs today, I hope they ban guns just like this so that no criminals can get them.

Yeah, it also worked for alcohol back in the 1920s. They passed laws banning the sale, manufacture, and possession of alcohol and everyone obeyed the law and quit drinking. It has been very effective on drugs as you've stated. Since the sale, manufacture, and possession of drugs has been implemented, America's drug problem has disappeared. There's no reason to think that this wouldn't work on guns also. If they pass laws banning the sale, manufacture, and possession of guns, then all the criminals will give their guns back and the world will be saved.

The criminals WILL get guns even if they ban them. A complete ban on guns would probably never happen as it is part of the constitution. Lets just say they did ban guns, that would be AWFUL because the criminals would still get them (just like drugs) but then upholding citizens (like myself) wouldnt be able to protect myself. I have a gun, LEGAL with permits and a CCW.

are you trying to be funny or is this question on the up and up? It is very possible for anyone to buy drugs anywhere you want! Unfortunately, so is guns! Can't buy them? Then make them. The criminals are the ones with the badges, right?
