I'm not sure if you're saying a centralized, robust firearms registry would be impossible or that it wouldn't be effective. I see no reason why it would be practically impossible. I see lots of reasons why it wouldn't be effective.

On top of that would there be a grandfathering of fire arms if Guns were made illegal. Well hell man, if you already have a gun there's not much we can do.

Probably there would be, yes. But even if there weren't, and turning in your guns was mandatory law, it would be very difficult to collect them or even any significant portion of them, practically speaking. I mean, if you thought (rightly) that Trump's asinine idea of rounding up illegal immigrants would present a law enforcement debacle...

On top of it, I doubt that a outlawing of guns would unfortunately never get passed the supreme court, even if you put the most liberal judges ever in the Supreme Court, they're not going to take out the 2nd Ammendment, they might alter it, but taking away gun rights would be equivalent to stepping on the third rail in a new york subway tunnel.

Of course this is the case, barring a constitutional amendment which is itself incredibly unlikely to happen. There are a number of hurdles, but the point is that even if you cleared them all, and the second amendment magically vanished overnight, you'd still have a huge snafu in the form of several hundred million firearms in public hands, and no clear way of dealing with it.

As well, you outlaw gun sales that you can control. But until the American's gain control over their borders the Chinese for example sell 42% of the rifles sold in the States or something like that.

This would be part of the snafu. Presumably some additional controls could be implemented at ports, but given that drugs get in despite the expenditure of billions of dollars, I suspect you're right.

Its a sadly unsolvable problem unless there's a will to solve the problems.

I'd argue that there is a will to solve the problem and it's still unsolvable, at least no one has come up with a silver bullet (pun intended) so far. More than half of the population wants stricter gun laws, and that number's going to go up. But even if it were 75% (and good luck getting 75% support for anything), I still don't really know how they'd pull it off.
