You’re right, it will never fully go away, and violence will always happen, but I think if we look at why people turn to gangs and violence, and address those issues the “need” for hand guns will drop. People join gangs for various reasons, be they economic, or social pressures, amongst others. So by ensuring that people are safe, well paid, a roof over their heads, full bellies, parents being around, robust before and after school programs, etc gangs wouldn’t have the same pull factor
At the end of the day we need to look at why guns are being imported illegally and address the root cause

Not trying to sound snarky, but what would your solution to the demand be? Cause it will likely never go away.

The level of demand could change. It will never fully go away
