That won't work that way in the US though. Guns need to be erased from their culture first before any bans are even possible to be enacted.

Guns need to stop being a symbol for freedom and independence and start being treated as what they are, tools designed to kill. Tools that are only worn by criminals or state officials. Guns are treated as a status symbol, a ban on them might even strengthen their general appeal. Not that you could even enact any kind of ban before you change the culture.

Like in the UK, it would probably take a decade or two, but it will work.

I want to be hopeful, but then they elected a Donald Trump in 2016. This country is far from ready to make rational politics.
