Banning is never an answer, violence is something that is rotten in culture and that needs to be eradicated by the society as a whole, but for sure the gun-loving fucktards that defend that more guns = less deaths are not helping at all.
Hint: This is what the debate is actually about. Gun control advocates see guns as a psychological symbol of violence, and think that by getting rid of guns they will get rid of violence.
But none will ever show any actual evidence that getting rid of guns will lower overall violent deaths and crime rates, they'll obfuscate the issue by using the loaded term "gun deaths" that doesn't take into consideration whether those supposed prevented deaths just switched to violent deaths with other weapons, so...
