with such laws. They are law-abiding as long as they have access to more guns.

Even if confiscation is impossible -- which it's not -- stopping new production will help. It may take decades to see the full benefit, but it will help.

Also levy severe penalties on anyone who transfers an illegal gun. Of course, gun-humpers will whine about that too. Just go to any white wing gun forum and call Randy Weaver a racist, gun-trafficker who hid behind his family.
