My personal view?

If your country is in a position whereby removing or restricting the right to own guns will genuinely be a bad idea because of the potential for people to react badly, or because there is such a demand for these things that illegal trafficking would be an unstoppable force, then frankly, things probably got screwed up long enough ago that nothing can help in the present day.

Amusingly, this also works for tobacco and alcohol.

The problem isn't that gun control doesn't work. The problem is that so much of the American population doesn't want it to be ABLE to work.
