Any plan that involves removing all the guns from the US is not a serious plan.

Reducing the number made is a start.

Allow more lawsuits vs gun companies.

Push companies for safety or face bankruptcy.

For those guns that exist if anyone sees you using a gun irresponsibly (let alone killing others) allow incentivizing civilians to sue with a $10,000 cash reward. Works for Texas.

Put the gun nuts in their place.

I mean I don't think anyone would expect to put a dent in it overnight. But over time you could put a significant dent in it. First off, in a longer term you will have none of those products being legally sold in the US, which will ultimately put a dent in the total number.

Second, if you make it illegal to own certain guns and enforce significant penalties, normal law-abiding citizens will get rid of their guns (especially if you reimburse them to some extent for the lost property).

Third, and this ties into the above a bit, multiple countries have taken millions of guns off the street through gun "buy back" programs where you can surrender your firearms no questions asked and they will pay you for them. You could do this periodically over the years in the US and make a significant dent.

Fourth, are there already guns in peoples' hands? Yes. But what your comment ignores is a lot of this is ALSO about keeping people from OBTAINING types of guns in the future. One of those millions of guns wasn't in Ramos's hands the past few years; he went and bought it recently. It's not just about reducing the number of current guns, but about making sure people who don't already have them can't access them in the future to go kill children with them.

The Commerce Clause describes an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution. The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power "to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."

Oh ok that's productive. yeah guess we should just shrug our shoulders and say "well, despite the fact that we're the only first world country where tons of kids get killed every year by guns, there's nothing we can do about that."

Or we can get down to brass tacks and start trying to find solutions and implementing them. If we try a solution and it doesn't work, then we come up with another one.

The type of thinking you're exhibiting makes me pretty confident that you're a low wage worker and/or undereducated because you are unable to think creatively or critically.
