You are wrong. Why can't a state ban all personal possession of firearms?
Firstly, the right to life and to defend the same are UNALIENABLE.
Secondly, have you ever heard of the blackmarket? Not even your friends at the KGB were able able to control it.
So STFU.

Take a deep breath, calm down. It was legal question.
Why can't a state ban all personal possession of firearms? What is/are the legal obstacle(s) to a state banning all personal possession of firearms?
It might yet be able to, but probably not.
The main obstacle is MacDonald v. Chicago.
Holding: The Second Amendment right of individuals to keep and bear arms in self defense applies against state and local governments as well as the federal government.
The remaining question is whether a state banning ALL firearms is inconsistent with the protections of the 2nd Amendment. It probably would be, although strict firearm regulation and the banning of sophisticated assault rifles or grenade launchers would almost definitely be upheld.
