Maybe in the more urban areas of Dallas there would be a few, but most of the people who would be willing to hand over guns dont even own any.
Would there be an all out war? No
Would it be political suicide for the politicians that voted yes? Absolutely

Substitute in Wisconsin for Texas and I agree 100%.
Meanwhile, hunting supports multi-million (possibly billion) dollar industries. Repealing all guns would basically leave thousands out of jobs in an already struggling economy, and the lack of seasonal income will basically kill at least 100 towns.
This would be guarenteed political suicide.
Not to mention considering it would have to be a consitutional amendment, it would never get enough states to pass.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
