I would like to point out that it is actually very difficult for bad guys to get guns if you cut off their source, which is always legally purchased guns.
In the UK and to a lesser degree (due to our close proximaty to the US) black market guns are very expensive and carefully protected by criminals and not used if at all possible.
It would obviously take a few years to take out the supply of guns in the US but the reality is if the US did enact and enforce UK or Canadian style gun laws within a decade not only would they not have much of a gun problem but a big chunk of the rest of the world would become safer, the US is the source for most illegal guns in the rest of N America and Europe. Strict gun control would in the US would fix Mexicos drug war just as surely.
