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

No total gun ban could succeed in the US, and in fact that's not what's being proposed on either the state or federal level. Work toward uniform gun regulations is focused on criminal background checks, control of automatic fire devices, high capacity magazines, and temporary confiscation of weapons from at risk individuals under "red flag" laws.
As far as getting weapons off the street, voluntary buy back programs are one strategy that can work if done right. When strict gun control laws went into effect in Australia in 1996, a nationwide buy back collected nearly 700,000 guns by 1997.
