Don't confuse gun control with banning guns. If we look at Australia for example, a country often cited in regards to gun control (and I live there), guns are not banned. You can buy a gun, I have family with guns, there are gun shops. But there are restrictions on the type of gun you can buy, 12 gauge shotgun for duck shooting is ok, AR-15 for people shooting is a no go.

But the big difference is the culture, most people in Australia simply don't want to own a gun, it doesn't define who they are. They don't feel threatened or unsafe by not having one.
