Ok so, you don't live here.
Heres the current situation:
There are significantly more privately owned firearms in the US... then there are people.
You... would need an actual plan, to make that not be the case.
If your plan is 'tell the government to go get all the guns'... that, that is the thing that all the stereotypical 2A people will literally start a widespread civil war or terrorism campaign or whatever you wanna call it, to resist giving up their guns.
That's the doomsday scenario they've built their culture around, for... at least 40 years.
Wishful thinking will not accomplish anything.
You are acting as if the guns can just be ctrl-z'd out of existence, as if somebody could just tick a box somewhere, and suddenly hundreds of millions if firearms just... stop existing.
Thats not how this works.
The country is already well on its way to increased factionalism and violence.
The Black Panther still exist by the way. And they do armed marches, stand guard around places.
They don't use the guns to shoot people, its force projection, it sends a message.
Like all the LGBTQ places that have had armed guards show up, to protect them, after Nazis/Proud Boys/Oath Keepers with guns threaten the club or cafe or whatever.
This kind of thing has been escalating since the George Floyd protests.
We're beyond the point of 'now everyone kiss and make up'.
American history is actually full of shit like this, even pretty modern American history.
You're not gonna make that all go away by simply being exasperated by it.
