How would it work? The police just go door to door asking for people to hand over all of the 200+ MILLION guns in the country? Then X-ray people's houses to double check? Then in addition to the super successful war on drugs, we'd have a war on guns?

First you would have to re write the constitution to get rid of the second amendment. Once that is done you would go right into the civil war. As the bulk of the LEOs and military are pretty much on the side of the gun folks... good luck with that.

It doesn't happen over years, it happens over generations. You change laws to prevent new gun proliferation and then you give it time. You have to eliminate the gun culture by removing this bull#### "we all should have guns" entitlement reinforced by the gun control system. Canada still has 30 guns per 100 people which, while not even close to the US ratio, is nothing to scoff at.

You are right but I think it is going the other way. I am totally stereotyping but it seems to me that the folks that are into guns and such are reproducing at a pretty good rate and those that are against comprised most of the DINK crowd and will be vastly outnumbered in the future. I don't honestly think you can get rid of this "gun culture" from the US. It is a fundamental part of the country. When your history starts with a civilian based armed rebellion and is celebrated how does it not? It is one of the primary differences between the US and Canada. We didn't like what was going on so we took up arms and fought against it where you waited 100 years and made a deal.
