the way to do it is in baby steps over a long period of time.

example: you give incentives for all homeowners who have guns for protection to change their handguns to shotguns. eventually you ban sale of new handguns. criminals get busted over time and their guns confiscated and destroyed.
you are right the criminals aren't going to hand in their guns voluntarily but it creates a simple supply and demand issue. as less and less remain in circulation it pushes the price up.
Are you really going to be worried about some thug coming into your home with a handgun to steal your diamond encrusted cock ring when a handgun sells for 5k or 10k on the black market. you will find the people who have handguns at that stage are professional hitmen, major drug lords etc, not neverheeb looking to score his next hit.

also there are lots of other small steps you could take like only allowing certain guns, ie not automatics that can shoot 6 people in 6 seconds

Didn't see a serious response to this in the other thread iirc.

And please don't give us the "if you aren't American, you can't understand this" BS.
It is such a stupid and ignorant statement, saw it a few times here and in other places.
