if the United States ban guns like so many people say we should, they'll all just go away right?
Just like illegal drugs and prostitution went away, guns will too if they make them illegal

They would have to buy back the guns, and then enact laws saying anyone caught with a gun gets 20 years in prison. They could also offer money for people to turn others in who have guns.

@JamesBugman We have that kind of penalty for some drugs now and it has done little to stop the drug trade in the US.
@Nitedoc Yea a lot of people make their living selling drugs. A few going to prison won't make any difference. They just fill in with others and keep going.
With guns though, if the person was arrested and thrown in jail, and all his guns were confiscated, including the ones buried in his back yard, in hidden locations in the house, and at the storage place he rents, when he gets out he will be back to zero guns. It's a personal thing, not a business.

@JamesBugman That might be possible as a long term fix, and I mean like over several generations and 100 + years.
