I think it's pretty clear that there is a correlative relationship between gun control frameworks and the prevalence of gun deaths. I think people who disagree with this are ideologues who care more about their side of the debate winning than for facts. Personally, I'm not a gun guy, but I also don't particularly care about gun rights, except to the extent that I'm anti-death... and I'm pretty sure we're all supposed to be on that team.
Now, in the USA, it's a bit more complicated because there already exists a situation where there are 300 million guns in circulation. Hence, banning all guns doesn't make any sense; it's a far more complex problem. But the rhetoric that will inevitably be used by politicians isn't complex or nuanced, it will simply be, "see, it doesn't help".
Having to listen to that sort of predictable stupidity is going to be extremely exasperating.
