Even if you outlawed guns today, with 300 million or so currently in the US, how long would it take to round them all up? And how would you do it? House to house search? And chances are the criminals would end up with most of what is left. Not a good idea. Remember prohibition? That law was well observed was ‘t It?

"And how would you do it? House to house search?"

How long have special constituents tried to disarm common people? Why are they afraid of common people? There are many ways to find out if someone has weapons: disagreements between family members, the things children say to teachers, doctors, and all, medical emergencies, other emergencies,... They'll disarm the common populace a few at a time through campaigns of fear (extreme prison sentences), raids..."by any means necessary."
