What that indicates, in the US and the UK, is that private ownership of guns does not change the amount of gun violence because it does not impact the ability of people to get guns, legally or not. That's a fault of the system, though I don't know how you're gonna fix that.
As far as legal gun ownership
curtailing criminal violence, so does video surveillance (ask London and Baltimore). There are ways to cut back on gun violence besides arming the populace.
