Any concerted attempt to confiscate civilian firearms at this point in time would lead to a bloody dissolution of the Union that would make the toll from gun crime and suicide look trivial. It's a horrible idea. The only way guns will be removed is when this society doesn't contain many people who want them. That's a long way away (and I am under no illusion that the nation as currently constituted will exist by that time).
