How will you get 2/3 of each House of Congress and 3/4 of the state legislatures to approve such a measure?

They are being...but there are millions...hundreds of millions of guns out there.
So there are always guns filtering down into criminal hands.
So start by banning all guns...seize the legally held ones...then start to destroy the illegally haled ones as their owners are caught.
With an amendment to the Constitution that repeals the 2nd amendment.
Even if they did that they would not be able to repeal the 2A as its part of the BOR.
That's a goal. How do you get there?

Personally I don't think you can
But who knows...maybe America's appetite to stomach more and more mass shootings will change.
The US Supreme Court has already ruled that in the same way that freedom of speech doesn't extend to shouting "FIRE" in the middle of a crowded theater, it has also ruled that the Federal government can ban certain forearms (fully auto weapons made after 1986?), sawn off shotguns.
Maybe that is the way forward under a more liberal government.
Start by banning ALL fully auto guns, then all semi auto, then all hand guns, then all bolt/lever/pump action guns with a magazine capacity more than 2.
then all hand guns
The day they ban handguns in the USA will be the day pigs fly.
...please insist all liberal politicians run on this platform.
They would have my vote
If US law allowed me to have one.

But like the blacks, women and Native Americans in 1776 I am excluded.
(and no you can't shout "fire" in a crowded theater...unless of course there is one).
Then its a good thing you don't have a vote.
So you contradict yourself. You CAN shout "fire" in a crowded theater....
...you aren't gagged upon entering a theater to insure that you cannot....
...but that's what you essentially propose in the case of guns.
Only if there is one
If there isn't, the freedom of speech doesn't let your shout it anyway.
Do you understand ?
I think you mean ENSURE
A common mistake that people from the failing US education system make.
You mean ban them ?
Then yes.

In American English, they can be interchangeable.
"Q: Are “ensure” and “insure” interchangeable?—Anonymous
A: Some stylebooks say yes, and some say no. Are you any less confused? These two words are often used in place of each other, but WD’s style separates them.WD—and many other publications—uses “insure” only when referring to financial insurance policies. After signing a contract with a professional baseball team, Jack decided to insure his pitching arm for $1 million. When the meaning is “to make certain,” WD sticks with “ensure.” It’s my job to ensure that you don’t misuse terms like these.
There are some newspapers and magazines, such as The New York Times and The New Yorker, that still use “insure” in both instances, but it’s fairly archaic to do so. Most publications differentiate the two."
