Now compare the gun violence rate of both of those countries with the gun violence rate of somewhere that bans guns.

Maybe we'll see that Finland has a route to further reduce their gun violence.

Having looked into it a bit, I was essentially right. England mostly bans gun ownership, their gun violence rate is half that of Finland's. In Japan, they have even tighter controls on firearms, the gun violence rate there is 30 times lower than Finland's.

Removing guns from the situation absolutely seems makes a huge measurable difference. If you believe math.
