There is no overnight fix, it will take generations. I compare it to smoking - laws got progressively tougher, people could still get them if they wanted, black markets did develop, but the main thing that happened is that smoking became socially unacceptable for the majority of people.
Societal norms and opinions changed. That has to happen wrt guns for there to be any progress, even if it takes decades.
Maybe we’ll have to pry that gun from Bubba’s cold dead hands but hopefully it will be his grandchild doing the prying and they will turn the weapon in.
