Or stays the same.

Too many guns may mean more of them will be used indiscriminately and gun violence will increase.
Alternatively, like the nuclear parity standoff, gun violence may go down because everyone knows that if they shoot, someone will shoot back.

My guess is that shooting of blacks by whites could increase but not vice versa because the freedom to carry a gun without being arrested applies, in reality, only to whites.
