Don't know if you ever watch Jon Stewart, but John Oliver just did a
brilliant 3 part series on Australia's effort to curb gun violence.
Highly recommned checking it out if you haven't seen it.
Enacated by conservatives, BTW.
The thing Oliver and most other people ignore is that although the
number of gun homicides fell, the number of murders remained pretty
constant only dropping about the same time US crime rates dropped.
(the last 8-10 years)
In fact the murder rate in Australia actually rose slightly for the 3
years after the buy back.

Guns are great, more guns somehow equates to less gun death, got it....
