4. Ban AND removal is long term, but doable. Three year process..Begin with outlaw and buy-back.

Year one. We will buy back your toy.... $100 or 200 per item turned in.

Year two, you can turn it in without penalty.

Year three, if a gun is found in your house, car, carried on you, escalating penalties for offenses.

No one confiscates or comes after your gun... just hope you ain't found with one.

And.... No one is allowed to sell a gun. Gun stores and gun shows are outlawed.

EXCEPTIONS: I can guess there are times and places where a gun is necessary... Wild animals attacking livestock. Provision needs to be there for that.
