Even after several generations, the criminals will still be getting guns into the country.
I guess my point is that it's a complex issue. Taking an overly harsh line on gun control is likely to do more harm than good. The number of illegal guns in the USA is already huge. In order to stop the guns, you're going to need more of a global effort.

It's unlikely, criminals in other countries smuggle guns from the US. No one is going the other way, it costs to much.
