First, you require everyone to register for permits to acquire and to keep guns. Then, you stop giving out those permits. Then your gov't has all the guns, and your people can't stop you. Similar to Germany in 1938 when they rescinded already in place gun restrictions only for members of the Nazi party.
The US gov't infringes on the Bill of Rights every day. The best deterrent of them throwing it out completely is the second amendment. I don't even own a gun, but I believe strongly in the right for Americans to have one. It's awful when a kid accidentally harms themselves, it's tragic when a criminal murders a dozen innocent people. The only thing worse is an unchecked government capable of murdering millions. I think if you asked the founding fathers about the current state of the U.S., their first comment would be: "The PATRIOT act?!?"
