Most of the time no the genie can't go back into the bottle, but you have to remember that we by and large in UK find 'gun culture' an anomaly of the civilised world and do struggle to get our heads around how the leading and most powerful country in the world has guns as part of their culture.
Over the years and from varying sources, I've read about the pros and cons of guns in American society and the reasons and mentality behind a lot of it is quite perplexing, which leads me to believe that the country as a whole is too divided and even confused on the matter to reach a general consensus banning guns.
Also I think the problem looking from the outside in, is the federal system that you have there regarding laws, again this is something that doesn't exist here, but would do if the European Union truly had its way.
