Banning guns works really well in many countries. If all guns are banned, even obtaining a gun illegally becomes much harder. So dumb criminals can't get guns. Smart criminals know that using a gun will make them the target of nationwide attention, so they stay away from guns. (Anybody who tries using a gun against another person are quickly listed among the nation's top wanted, and their criminal careers are usually cut short pretty quickly.) As a bonus, police officers will never shoot you even if you're jogging at 2 am in a back alley holding a baseball bat, because what justification would they have? They thought you might shoot them? Yeah as if that kind thing happens here.
