Should America or any part of America ban guns? This is a hypothetical assuming that it's not a right to have guns.

I say no. And here is a story why: "Suzanna Gratia (now Gratia Hupp) was having a pleasant lunch with her parents in Luby’s cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, when she saw a pickup truck come crashing through the wall. A man armed with two guns and plenty of spare magazines emerged from the truck and started shooting everyone in sight, including Gratia’s mother and father. Al Gratia was shot fatally in the chest. Ursula Gratia was shot point-blank in the head. More than 20 other people in the cafeteria were murdered in cold blood before the killer turned one of his guns on himself and blew his own brains out.

Suzanna hid under a table, clutching her purse which normally contained a .38 revolver. In deference to Texas law at that time, which prohibited carrying concealed weapons on one’s person, she had left her gun in her car. Several more dead diners had guns legally and inaccessibly locked in their cars. Suzanna Gratia Hupp has vowed never to make that mistake again, though such pronouncements always come far too late."

While it is nice to think that if one banned guns things would get better. But what will happen is that things will get worse. More people will break the laws and the crime will be stronger as no one will be able to protect themselves.

In my opinion, banning guns is no different from prohibiting alcohol or marijuana. The production will NOT stop. It will just be pushed underground. Making it harder, if not impossible, for honest citizens to legally protect themselves in their own homes. Banning and prohibiting anything creates crime syndicates and turns normal good citizens into would be criminals, over night.
