No it doesn't.

They have been disarmed by anti-self defense, big government worshiping liberals.
The activity in New Orleans is the direct result of the disarmament of law abiding citizens...and the insistance of a beaurocracy, that it is your best option for safety. It has clearly failed.

There has yet to be a ban that has succeeded in achieving this fantasy.
The result of every ban, ever enacted, anywhere, by any anyone, has been to reduce the ability of the law abiding to access these tools of self defense. It has also resulted, interestingly, in those opposed to the actions of their government from doing anything meanful about. Those who commit crimes with firearms, have never, and will never be deterred. Criminal gun use has not been reduced at all. EVER.
