The entire population would, presumably, include police officers and the armed services?
I mean the civilians. Obviously, the military and and police should still be armed.
So there should be two classes of Citizens:
Government employees, who have the right to bear arms.
And, private sector employees, and the unemployed, who do not have the right to bear arms.
Nobody has a "right to bear arms." Guns are best in the hands of certified professionals. Private sector people like bounty hunters and private security can also have guns. Properly certified people may also hunt.
But there's lots of evidence the police are the ones who give inner-city thugs guns and ammo. So wouldn't they just... continue this behavior even if you banned guns?
No, that's conspiracy theory.
