If I’m not mistaken, not every firearm purchased in the US is registered. How do you expect people to find these firearms without traceability?

I don't. I think there isn't enough popular support for a gun ban for success to happen and it would be a pricey boondoggle. Laws that don't have public consensus behind them have a poor track record. Look at prohibition or the war on drugs.

But it would not fail because of the size of the country. That's silly.
