Yes hopefully it would. It's a slow drawn out process though, and america isn't an island. It's not a fix

Its not a fix, but a start in the right direction.

Yep, given the reality of how many firearms there are already, and the resources it would take to remove them... I think we should focus on other things.

Who says the government needs to remove them? There could be a grace period of a year or maybe several years, during which people already owning a gun can apply for a license and receive the necessary training. Those who don't want to get the license can come in to prove they made the firearm unusable. Anyone else owing a gun can be made liable after that grace period. This would minimize necessary resources.
Also, a proper government should be able to focus on several things. And I do think daily school shootings is something worth focusing on.

I agree that this is worth focusing on. Your suggestions would help. Sadly that doesn't remove the firearms already in the US. Meaning that criminals can obtain them.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. You need to think more long-term.

I see your point
