"doing away with all guns"

Okay, until someone manages to locate an all powerful god or djinn willing to do mankind's bidding that can simply "magic" all existing firearms away with a wish, that's not going to happen. Ever.

There are places in the world where a fully automatic AK-47 can be bought for the equivalent of about $30 USD to put things in perspective. If someone wants one, they'll have to pay more to get one through illegitimate means if they're in a region where such firearms have been made illegal, but to think that by passing a law outlawing its sale or possession equates to a miraculous, magical reality in which they will never be present is so naive it's beyond laughable.

You'd be better off trying to legislate states of mind between sane and mentally ill.
