It's pretty much what they did in the UK.
The only driver for gun production is the legal U.S. market without it there's no money in guns for the manufacturers, Berreta or colt arnt going to produce guns for the illegal market, it's to small, essentially most gun producers would close.
The vast majority of Americans, like Brits and Aussie's don't actually care about the guns themselves they care about the symbolic arguement, given time most will hand them over.
The main thing is it would take decades but the process is simple, I'd agree right now there's no appetite for it now but gun ownership in the U.S. is actually dropping massively, it's turning into a small number of people with a vast number of guns. There may come a time when the U.S. gets sick of the bull####.

What Gun ownership dropping. They sold more guns on Black Friday than ever. Ever since Obama has been in office people have been buying them at record numbers.
