    Banning the weapon is extremely likely to stop the next rando attack, and the next one and the next one and the next one…

    Then yes, someone will get a hold of a weapon and commit a crime, but dozens more were prevented

      When the next person uses a hammer, or an axe, do you suggest we ban hammers and axes?

      Or when they ram their car into people, ban cars?
