I don't think we should eliminate guns entirely. Instead I think we need better background checks and tracking of weapons. Also certain types of weapons need to be restricted or banned. None of us need an assault riffle, RPG, machine gun, ect. Finally we need much harsher punishments for gun violations.
I think every gun made should be fired prior to being sold and the bullet should be used to fingerprint the gun. This fingerprint should be added to a database. Thus if a bullet is found it can be tracked to the original owner. In addition, there should be laws forcing reporting of transfers of ownership and reporting of stolen weapons. If you buy a gun and it is later used in a crime then it is easily tracked to the last legal owner.
