Rates of firearms ownership in the US have been declining steadily anyway, so even IF you buy the idea that gun violence is increasing (and there's evidence that it isn't), then you have to question how "more gun control" is the answer when gun ownership and violence are already un-correlated (or even negatively correlated).
