There are logistical problems with that solution as well if we're being honest. How are you going to locate all however many hundred million firearms there are in the US? Even if it's just banning some weapons. How are you going to locate them all?

Even if you could, these terrorists would just use truck bombs.

As far as solutions go, the best option available in our current situation is probably to let our counter-terrorism operatives actually operate. At least up to now, they've been operating with kid gloves with respect to domestic terrorists.

Didn't the gun ban in Australia work pretty well? I know the US has a lot more guns (even per capita) than Australia did, but if we started the process couldn't we conceivably curtail the spread of guns?
