If they really wanted to get rid of guns, they'd first focus on criminals. Make crime virtually non-existent. Then they'd focus on the police, making them effective and efficient yet ultra-respectful of citizens rights. As part of that, they'd tighten up the immigration system, making the border secure and only allowing in vetted immigrants. And they'd make federal and state agencies work within their Constitutional restraints.
If they did all that, guns would naturally disappear - most people wouldn't feel the need to arm themselves outside of hunting and recreational shooting. The gun industry would collapse other than servicing the military.
But the reality is getting rid of guns isn't the end game. Guns are in the way of the end game. They don't want the happy, prosperous society we used to have that doesn't need guns.
It just proves "these people are stupid".
