Ok, so we can either enact gun reform like most of the entire world has done or we can completely alienate ourselves from other people in hopes they don't shoot us. Do you see why gun-ownership is an anti-social trait?

In most gun owning areas of the country, people have managed to be safe and have friends, so your theory is somewhat lacking.
One fact about murders that has exceptionally low variance is the likelihood of personally knowing the person that murders you. This is 90%, in almost all circumstances and areas.
Means, the gun, is only one part of the equation and has been noted generally the smallest. Motive is far more important when attempting to put murder rates into context.
