As mentioned even the federal government couldn’t control assault weapons they tried to trace by selling to drug lord gang members to get to head do the snake. Even some of those are still out there.

I watched documentary on untraceable semiautomatic handguns made from scratch from Philippine’s and other’s elsewhere. They when through several black market dealers before reaching streets of any major city all over the world and most made the way to Americans, of course each time they changed hands and borders the price when up from $200 to $300 to over $2000. IMO only way to stop the murders in try to change culture and environment that’s breeds gun violence?
Lets pretend for the minute that "they" began collecting the guns, in an effort to get rid of all the guns and "they" managed to collect and destroy 10,000 guns per day across the country. It would take 82 years to collect and destroy ALL the guns currently in circulation.

Of course that is not counting any additional guns smuggled in during that 82 years - maybe a few?

In other words, if anyone is pushing the idea that we should ban all guns, it isn't going to happen, so let's talk about some other plans.

And of course that also assumes no one is resistant to the idea of giving up their guns - .
