You think if the Vegas shooter only had access to knives the same number of people would be dead, because he'd throw them off the roof? Guns enable and amplify the level of violence attainable. Ya, sure, a gun on it's own does nothing. But that argument is irrelevant.

Introducing those gun laws into the U.S now would help, but also wouldn’t change the fact there are too many guns in that country to count. Doubt they would mostly be turned in or destroyed.
In other countries where gun laws were introduced, the level of firearms circulating wasn’t anywhere close to what the U.S is dealing with, making those laws pretty effective.
