Hmmm how come that is not the case in a country like Laos then? Factors like religion and political systems also need to be taken into account.
If you could magically take away every single gun in the world and people will still kill each other. Of course the murder rate would drop initially but people will just switch to other means. Explosives can be far more deadly than firearms, better ban fertizilisers while your at it
