To make any constitutional change in the US you need support from 2/3 of the states, 2/3s of both houses and support of the President. Anyone trying to pull the wool over people's eyes are going to need a lot of wool.
People buying drugs illegally don't effect anyone over than those taking the drugs. You never hear stories of people going on a rampage in a mall and trying to get 20-30 people to overdose on aspirin.
You can use arguments about knifes being used to replace guns, but you can't exactly go on a spree with a knife, either. In the UK, you cannot have a knife in public, and if you're caught with one that can mean (I think) up to 4 years in prison. Knife crime is a completely different kettle of fish when it comes to crime solving, as well, as the culprit needs to get up close which means they could leave DNA, also they'd need to get close to the person, which means they probably need to know the person that they're stabbing (just see how close a stranger would let you get to them), so the police can look at known associates, also there's a chance that the stabber could be overpowered.
As for banning guns, I don't personally think that hunting should be a right, and that you should have to obtain a license to kill animals - which could all be part of greater gun control. If the criminals don't have as many guns, then the people defending themselves also don't need as many guns. It's all relative.
