Let's tackle this prohibition style.
Everybody pro-gun rights endorse a full on gun ban, then, like prohibition in the 1920s, when everything goes to shit, say "I told you so". You'll get your guns back after probably 2 Presidential terms and probably the same number of gun deaths during that time regardless of the ban, so it will have been proven to be ineffectual and basically cement gun rights forever in the USA.
So, can the avid gun enthusiasts who shoot weekly, or the daily carriers give up that right for a few years just to prove a point? If you die because you can't defend yourself, you'll be a hero, and you'll become a statistic that cements the need for guns in our society and you'll make our country safer. Be heroes and give up your guns in the short term so that we can finally end this struggle and have some closure, like we did with alcohol in the 1920s.
