The reason 47% of US households own guns is because in such a large country ones household can be quite a significant distance away from law enforcement. Anyone who has spent time in the states knows that once you are fifty miles outside a major city there isn't really very much law enforcement. This is why rural Americans have guns. Try and relieve these Americans of their guns and it will be civil war. The best one could hope for is to limit the type of guns, the size of the clips & how guns & ammo can be sold.
