Gun control may be a nice fantasy, and may work on paper, but it can never be a reality in the US.
There are an estimated 250 MILLION guns currently in the US, and we have porous borders thousands of miles to the north and south of us (east and west, too, for those that have boats), over which flow thousands of people, legally and illegally, every day.
So the idea that we can prevent gun related crimes by depriving criminals or would-be criminals of the ability to get a gun simply is unfeasible, even putting aside Second Amendment issues. If we want to try to lessen gun related crimes, we need to look at other, more realistic ways of doing it.
