if it became illegal for Americans and American cops to own guns, gun violence would go through the roof.

Yes, and ban everything with a point including toothpicks because those can really mess up someone's eye.

We should ban forks, toasters, and spoons as well honestly.

You could do real damage with them. /s

Ideally, firearms would not be available to the civilian population. However, at this stage it's far too late for that to ever be a realistic option.

Given how engrained guns are in American cultural identity-even were the second amendment absent--a ban would not only result in widespread violence as confiscation would be required, but also lead to a massive black market like you saw when alcohol was banned--something that in itself would further contribute to a rise in violent crime.
