The ONLY way gun control would EVER make any sense is if they were able to instantly and remotely vaporize EVERY gun in America. Otherwise, you are only disarming the lawful citizen and doing NOTHING to the criminal that would have already been unlawfully armed BEFORE the law.

This is actually a good point.
Gun control works just fine in most first world countries, where just about everyone will live their entire lives without ever seeing a gun (besides those in policemen's holsters)...but the US has so many armed criminals that if you're not part of the nation-wide arms race, you're simply not all that safe.
Note: that's not to say that gun control is inherently bad. It's actually the ideal situation - the less extremely lethal weapons around, the better. But the US is way beyond the point of it ever being a feasible option.
