20 years of data show Austrailias gun control laws work

52. 2/3 of those gun deaths are suicides

Which as I just mentioned have different causes and solutions than murders. And the US is actually 50th in the world in suicide rates - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate. Japan has MUCH higher suicide rates than the US but almost no private firearms. On edit, what's going on in Guyana - that country's suicide rates are appallingly high.

But again, if you don't like private ownership of firearms then work to repeal the Second Amendment, then work to repeal the provision in your state constitution that almost certainly prohibits government interference with firearm ownership (a handful of states do not have such provisions in their constitution), then convince your state government to outlaw the ownership of firearms. Of course, the only people that won't own guns in your state are those who obey the law, while criminals will continue to rob and murder with the firearms they aren't supposed to have.
