America is never going to ban guns that much is evident

ban all toy guns and replicas

well it could stop kids being used to them as a "toy" when growing up
And very slowly move American attitude in the right direction

The chance of a young child or person being shot because that had what turned out to be a replica or toy in the playground would be vastly reduced if not eliminated

there is no changing the adults mind on this in America .you need a long term approach to weed them of there need for guns where better to start than kids

it might work but would take too long
quicker just to raise the price of Bullets Wink

I cant see them doing that either to be honest. because the USA doesn't necessarily think it has a problem, It does obviously have a major problem with guns but there is a reasonable proportion that actually believe they woudl be better off with more Rolling Eyes

the problem is the USA is essentially behaving like the Alcoholic that wont admit they have a drinking problem.

Most Americans do want to do something to keep guns out of the hands of murderers. The problem is Congress, specifically Republicans in Congress, who not only wave polling like this aside, but actively take to the airwaves after mass shootings to insist that we do nothing to control guns: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/03/five-stages-reactions-republican-candidates-mass-shootings
