How come we're just learning that they don't work? Has there been any studies on this? Anything that points to places with gun bans and crimes are still committed using firearms?

Washington D.C. enacted a virtual ban on handguns in 1976. Between 1976 and 1991, Washington D.C.'s homicide rate rose 200%, while the U.S. rate rose 12%. Much more at the site.
