Sort of, but this gets to be a little chicken-and-egg. The main problem though is that assumes that the absence of guns would in turn mean lower murder rates (and there's evidence that this isn't so. In addition, we've seen in this country all too well what happens when you try to ban something that a lot of people want. All we'd do is end up with a black market for guns. Brazil is another good example, with much greater restrictions on ownership than in the U.S., but their murder rate is far higher.
