We have a higher rate of murder across the board, not just with guns when you compare our crime rates with countries that have lower homicide rates.. So that kinda blows the "guns cause murder" simplistic nonsense out of the water.
What must be addressed is why we kill, not how. Until you address the will, nothing you do about the means will matter.
It's the same with drug abuse.
ok, then why do we have a higher murder rate?
