To a degree, what your'e asking for is already in place. The practicality of confiscation, though, is tricky. You want to send a bunch of cops into black neighborhoods to confiscate their guns on a regular basis? I can imagine some undesirable side effects to that plan.
Confiscation can get tricky, yes.
But I can envision that, just as some may evolve into unsustainable situations like you mentioned, many people will be conscientious enough to understand the risks and will give them up, willingly.... particularly, if a certain reasonable monetary value is exchanged for them.
Most of the time, cops wouldn't even be required.... but they are the best trained to handle it.
Black folks peacefully playing along with the state's disarming of black neighborhoods might be overlooking some aspects of black history. I think their wariness of the US government is more than a little justified.
