The only thing that will help is to make it a capital crime to use a gun during the commission of a crime, and carry out the execution within 6 months. Youre not going to get criminals to give up their guns no matter what kind of laws you pass, the only thing you will do is make it more difficult for honest citizens to protect themselves from armed criminals, look at Mexico.
