after the incident in Connecticut, i would hope all guns would be banned

No, that attitude is bad, here, let me educate you :3 Guns allow people to have a method of self defense. If most people had a handgun and knew how to use it, crime would instantly drop everywhere.
For example, people who go to schools and shoot kids, one of the reasons they pick schools might be because they look at a school zone and think "Gee, there's a bunch of unarmed people there, they would be terribly easy targets for me". I don't know about you, but i would assume that if teachers had guns, those people might think more along the lines "if i walk into that classroom, those teachers are gonna shoot the f*ck out of me,that won't end good". And one other example, take a strong bully in school, the bad guy everyone is afraid of, he only picks on the small kids because he knows he can beat the crap out of them, that sort of thing will keep up until either the smaller kids 1.Beat the crap out of the bully 2.Demonstrate they are mentally insane and thus unpredictable (if he can't predict you, he might not mess with you xD, but i'm going off topic now )
Anyhow, on another topic, why is the government banning things such as rifles and high capacity mags? Well, the answer is simple. Say you have a population of people you rule over and they have easy access to weapons with which they could easily revolt and overthrow you with, wouldn't you try to do something to make sure your own power is secure? That's a similar situation when compared to here in the US. the government only wants to enforce more gun laws so they can have a tighter grip on their population and with that, comes more control. As this control increases, the government will be more and more able to do whatever it wants regardless of what the public says. However, guns and ammunition are already strongly established in the country, and the general population could easily get their hands on unregistered side arms or rifles. Therefor, the government will never be able to completely establish control.
Now, onto my last topic, my proof for why guns will decrease crime rate. Have you ever looked aSwitzerland's way of doing things?
"Switzerland does not have a standing army, instead opting for a people's militia for its national defense. The vast majority of men between the ages of 20 and 30 are conscripted into the militia and undergo military training, including weapons training. The personal weapons of the militia are kept at home as part of the military obligations; Switzerland thus has one of the highest militia gun ownership rates in the world. In recent times a minority of political opposition has expressed a desire for tighter gun regulations. A referendum in February 2011 rejected stricter gun control."
And it's because of this that they have an incredibly low crime rate. Any how, simply wishing the government would enforce gun control even more and praying guns will go away Will not work, why? That's because guns have already been established,people will always be able to find a way to get a gun, and until the government can mind control us all, Guns WILL stay in the U.S.
