50. only a very small percentage of guns are used in crimes
Something like 0.2% and with 300,000,000 guns in the country, you would have to collect a lot of guns from law-abiding citizens (leaving them less defended) before you would see a dent in gun crime.

Also, the courts have ruled you can not ask a felon to turn over a gun, as it would be self incrimination.
