I've estimated three generations. When nobody's grandfather loves their guns, then they can make start on repealing the 2nd Amendment. So, you know, somewhere between 50 and 80 years, as long as you start pushing the idea now that guns aren't cool and aren't something that most people need.

Of course, you also have to start getting the guns off the streets, so that the expectation is no longer that any given criminal is probably packing, which is the case now. That will deemphasise the need for self-defence.

I hope the process might unfold this rationally.
