This is true, it's not really effective to ban guns in one municipality if people can just go over to the neighboring municipality to acquire guns.

then only a planet wide ban could work right?
You wouldn't have to ban guns where none exist/are produced. Who are the world's largest producers of firearms? The US? Russia? Yes, if you banned gun sales by US manufacturers, and you banned gun imports to the US, you would have the demand met with black market imports from arms producing countries. I suspect that the demand would exceed supply, so there would probably be a major price increase over what we see now. Would this be enough to stem gun violence in the US? Maybe. Would it be as effective as nationwide Constitutional Carry laws? Who knows. There isn't enough data.

This premise still relies on the notion that criminals will "do the right thing" and turn in their guns. I don't expect that to happen.

If a handful of cities are removed from the US stats on violence (Chicago, DC, etc) , you will find that the US is on par or safer than the rest of the world...

If YOUR misbehaving cretins can't be trusted with guns....that does not seem very compelling as a reason why MY well behaved cretins can't have them.
If your children are stupid enough to eat Oleanders and die...then YOU should not plant any. But, that doesn't compel me to stop growing mine..even if your dumb kids jump the fence into my yard.
