They have gun control. Or do you mean to completely disarm civilians?
From my time living in the US, the country does not have a pragmatic gun control system. It is my understanding that anyone can buy weapons with no checks whatsoever (US is a key source for Mexican cartel weapons).
I did not find US polemics around "army citizenry" to be convincing. The impression I got is that it's more of a provincial theatrics thing. But arguably that's a whole different discussion.
As I heard, the situation drastically differs from state to state. The main problem is determining the "pragmatic" part. What criteria should be used? Do not sell to those previously convicted of violent crimes? I suppose it is already done. What else could be done without effectively denying all people from owning weaponry?
You are acting as if you need to reinvent the wheel, completely ignoring the fact that the question of pragmatic gun control is already a thing in most countries in the world. You do know there are countries besides the US, right?
