Gun control is a pillar policy and money maker for both parties.
Rights will be chipped away by the left; rights will be restored by the right. The game will continue as long as this is a hot-button issue for most voters.
There are communist apologist that want us disarmed, but as someone stated above, that horse has left the barn - never happen without open conflict and bloodshed. Who would pay taxes at that point? Who would profit from that? Who would remain in power? It would be too risky for most of the ruling class to take action such as that.
How much $$ is made by hitting the hornets nest occasionally(say every 4 years)? American Democrats and Republicans don't want guns gone, they want money and votes from the fabricated issue.
Commies on the other hand, are driving us towards the open conflict with an eye for painting the lawful owners as bad guys (see McCloskey developments). It is in the hope of pushing to a point of the big 'R'. Only foreign assets and those in bed with them would benefit then.
