Probably not.
Sure, it wouldn't work and actually all guns should be taken off people except some hunting weapons that qualified hunters use (like it is in most countries), but in a land like US, where even health care is seen as conspiracy for a boogeyman to kill people, there's no way. So US will always be a Wild West with cowboys, Indians and alike shooting at each other on the streets and other public places.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
