That's just reality. The U.S. has more small arms in their civilian population than most of the armies of the world combined.
Try to remove those firearms from the population, and I don't see that working out well for anyone.
So what's the best thing to do going forward?
I don't know, honestly, but there are probably solutions to be had, at least incremental ones that make everyone safer, without trying to "grab all the guns".
The problem is that when you remove the guns from the lawful citizens, only the criminals will possess guns. You may think that that's OK, but I don't.

Well, you can compare gun deaths to countries where "only bad guys have guns" to the US situation, and it should be pretty obvious which situation has fewer deaths of innocent people. You may be OK with innocent people dying so you can play warrior, but I'm not. It's baffling you can even try to make that argument with all the facts we have access to.
