That, unlike gun regulation, would actually save lives. Keep in mind The US has a much lower suicide rate than South Korea, despite South Korea having extremely strict gun control, for instance.
In countries where guns are unavailable, people simply resort to other means. But their casualties aren't aggregated under the "firearm death" column.
To me, gun control is about political gains. Not saving lives.
