True or False: You believe banning guns in the US will stop criminals from committing heinous crimes?

I sure don't believe that! so false for me.

Update:

Let me just put this out there.. I heard that the so called assault weapon that they said was used in the Connecticut shooter was found in the trunk of the car by law enforcement.

Update 2:

Shooting*

Update 3:

I recommend anyone who said true to watch this video to know what's really going on..

    Gun ownership is a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. It is impossible to ban them completely, but even if it wasn't and all guns were banned they would be manufactured illegally and gun violence would continue.

    False. They would have to ban household cleaners, scissors, pens, pencils, knives, rulers, spices, string, hands and everything else in the world.

    It will obviously not stop them, but make it a little harder. International statistics support this. Common sense does, too.
