I'm not sure I follow. If you actually reduced the rate of civilian ownership of firearms to near-zero, you'd eliminate most gun violence. After all, that's been the experience in Japan. - albaby

As Dope explained, there are cultural differences that suggest what works sort of in Japan, may not be as effective here.

Also. reducing guns may reduce gun crime but that may be accompanied by an increase in other crimes since the deterrent factor has been reduced. And we know the police can't protect you and have no duty to do so. You are your own first responder is pointless without the means to do so.
