Amen to that!
In the UK, a pretty much total gun (and all sorts of sharp objects) ban has been in place for quite a while.
Has gun based crime been reduced?
Not according to the latest figures I read.
Is it harder for criminals to obtain guns?
No.
Is the average citizen any safer?
Given the answers to the two previous questions, obviously not.

Britain even banned certain sharp knives after some lunatic went wild in a school. Of course that did nothing to stop the gangs of Stanley Knife toting morons.

Next in line is alcohol (to prevent drink related crime), cars (to prevent drive bys and fast getaways) etc etc.
