Not at all. That was just an explanation of the vector by which general restrictions on gun ownership (like a nationwide adoption of the "good reason" licensing system that is used in some other countries, and used to be in place in DC) would translate into a general reduction in gun deaths. That's the mechanism by which having fewer guns can translate into fewer gun deaths, even though criminals who are indefatigable in their efforts to get a gun will still be able to get one. - albaby

Ok, there are reasonable proposals that are targeted and the example you provide is one of those.
But apart from regulations narrowly targeted on specific homicide prone populations, there exists a desire to restrict ownership by the general law abiding gun owning population. Is there any limit on how far this aspect of the program should go? Is total elimination the only outcome that will slake this thirst?
