Unfortunately you run into a couple problems with mass gun abduction on a grand scale the size of America. First of all the size. We're talking 330 million people. To recover all firearms would take a very long time and willing participants to retrieve or give their firearms away.

You might be able to get 1/3-1/2 of them to give their guns back; closer to half if you add some incentives. But after that you have people who don't feel comfortable leaving their home unprotected, people who don't like having their freedom taken away, and general nutjobs who feel the need to walk into a 7/11 with an open firearm.

The only real solution to this problem in my opinion is to change the ammunition. Either through redesigning your bullet so it has less penetrating power but still hurts like hell, which will probably never happen; or changing the price of ammunition so you can't just grab a pack for the cost of a few subway sandwiches; meaning that you have to make your ammunition count.

But of course, then you get illegal arms dealers willing to sell these things for regular price as long as they are making a profit.
