Quick search indicates 342 million people in the United States according to their census, i tried to find the total amount of American citizens but that statistics doesn’t appear easy to find, if we divide it in half and say 171 million US citizens who all potentially own 1 maybe 2 maybe 5 maybe 10 firearms, even if the laws were to change federally at any point do you think every citizen is going to comply?
Even the Canadian government struggles confiscating firearms from licensed owners, and that’s closer to 2 million firearms now prohibited, I can’t imagine how Americans would handle it.
Firearms are known to last over a hundred years and can be rebuilt, they don’t just magically go away when sales stop.
And as I mentioned in another comment, In the United States firearms don’t have to be registered, as far as I know this applies federally, this may differ per state, how do you plan to track something with no traceability?

Doesn’t need to be confiscated. Just stop sales and the number goes down over time.
And before you start, you don’t have to stop all sales. We can start with the ones that have potential to kill the most.

You don’t have to have 1 dude do the whole job. You can just use an equal amount of people per capita as smaller countries have.
maybe you could ask every other country that’s done it.
I don’t believe it’s a fair comparison, there are more guns in the US than people.
Yeah you’re right we should give up (?)
