If America banned its guns, would school shootings stop?

banning alcohol in the past helped criminals consolidate power and distracted the people from the intentional bankrupting and subsequent corporate takeover of America.
notice how these shootings happen in environments where people aren't expected to be able to protect themselves.
predators generally go after easier prey. The same goes for mentally ill school shooters, goons in uniform and psychopaths in positions of influence -

Because normally, people who go on shooting sprees are known wierdos who nobody likes. These people dont normally have any friends, let alone contacts in the underworld
I cant speak for illegal gun dealers, but i imagine their normal clients are drugs dealers and the like, they may not want to risk selling a gun to a dead eyed thousand yard stare teenager, because if that gun goes on to kill multiple kids you will be in deep ****, deeper than if the gun is used to kill a drug dealer.
I mean either way if you illegally sell a gun that kills a person, you are in deep ****, but you MAY see the light of day again at some point. If it kills kids then that is off the table. ( I assume )
what I am trying to say is, the average school shooter may struggle to get a gun illegally, yet could probably get one legally….oh the irony… -

The real question is what is important and how do we protect it? So we obviously deem our evil politicians as important, our celebrities, our media people, our athletes, all of our singers at concerts, and most importantly our banks that hold all of our money. All of this is guarded by men with guns. Yet when it comes to our most innocent among us, our kids at school, we say the best way to guard them is with signs that say "Gun Free Zone." There is a reason mass shooters tend to target "gun free zones." They'll never attack an NRA meeting. Leftists get so angry when we on the right suggest we provide our kids with the same level of protection we provide our snake politicians and pedophile celebrities.

The general public shouldn't have access to any deadly weapon and idgaf what anyone says. Whether it be a gun, knife, crossbow.. there's absolutely no reason for anyone to be owning them.

Yes, but like anything it would take time. You could ban guns today but you wouldn't see the full benefit of it for at least a good 10 years, especially if there's over 300 million guns in the country. But you would feel good about it knowing you're changing your children's/loved one's future.

As it has been said. Criminals, gang members etc very rarely do school shootings. It’s almost always some weirdo with a legal gun, so in that sense there’s a good chance you’d stop a few shootings. Would it happen over night? Of course not. But in 20-30 years time when most guns are either defunct or out of ammo you’d see some change.
You have to start somewhere. Or live the risk of sending your kids to their death ( which obviously is very small, but higher than most if not all civilized nations)
Your choice
