There's a problem with your "if" : the goal isn't to limit the number of firearms available to crazies. If the crew from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest took over the NRA, few people would notice... The issue rears its head when firearms generate victims. Here's the thing. The number of guns in the united states has been going up for decades, faster than the number of people. The number of gun homicides per capita, however, has been going down for just as long. Would lowering the availability of guns drop it faster? Maybe. Probably. Definitively? Decisively? I don't think we can say for sure yet. The problem isn't guns, it's people that think guns solve problems.
