Going to grad school to study this so I spend a lot of time reading studies on gun violence.
Short answer: fewer guns, fewer gun deaths. Most modern American homicides can be summed up in just a few categories: personal (husband/wife kinda deal), suicide, accidental, then drug/inner city shyt. With restrictions on gun purchases, trafficking, storage, ect., there's a reduction in your death rates. Most guns per capita: Alaska. Highest firearms death rate per capita: Alaska (mainly suicide and accidental).
Taking guns away does not prevent all gun deaths from happening. It just makes it harder. There aren't innocent bystanders to stabbings. Turns out people shoot themselves a lot less(the most effective and the go-to suicide choice for men) when you can't get your hands on a gun.
Ending the manufacturing of firearms in America would be politically impossible. NO ONE is better at politics than the NRA. But if you could, there's still about 300 million firearms floating around. Say you get rid of those. You'd have to eliminate trafficking too. Gun violence is a cultural problem as much as it is about access to firearms. We love them too much to even acknowledge or take the public health concerns seriously.
