Your statement "Gun control need not take a single gun away from law abiding people. Gun bans are silly...there is far more effective gun control"
I pointed out that gun control HAS already taken guns away from law abiding people. When you have gun control, you have gun bans. You can't own X gun, is a ban.
Sorry currently there isn't a gun control law that isn't really a ban in some form. Have to wait x days to pickup you gun, that's a temporary ban.
If you really want to stop gun crime, then pass a law that says use a gun in a crime and you get 10 years straight time in jail, no probation, 10 years straight.
that is the real issue, isn't it? I submit that most gun restrictionists really don't care about stopping gun crime. Rather, their goal is harassing lawful gun owners. Thus, their definition of "effective" is based and evaluated on something other than crime control
