Guns were never the problem

Places in the world that have far less gun proliferation statistically, objectively have far less gun violence per capita, and less injury and death resulting from it.

It's almost as if guns aren't used to hurt people as much if they aren't available to most of the population to use. Not sure what else to tell you.
