Again: governments have killed way more people than insane gunmen over the last 100 years.
Yes, America has seen a number of mass shootings. But you have not seen any Rwanda, Srebrenica or Birkenau on your soil.
I absolutely think there exist a better way (as seen in Sweden, Norway, Austria and a number of other countries with very many guns on private hands) but removing all guns from the population should't be what you are looking for IMO.
It's kind of like insurance: costly and totally pointless until your house burns down.
