There will never be a gun ban in the US, there is too much money to be made selling guns to US citizens (profit over everything else). People complaining that they need their shack full of assault guns to overthrow the government when the time comes cracks me up, exactly what are you going to do when the tanks and drones roll into your neighborhood? There are more guns then people in the US, even if they banned all sales and started taking all the guns the government knows about there will be enough left (along with amunition) to invade and take Canada. I own an old Remington Viper 522 rifle (.22) used for nothing but target shooting, still even that rifle can kill easily enough I don't need an assault rifle to cause trouble.
