We are trying to get at causality here. Even in thr Australia case, I have to ask, did crimes committed by _illegally_ owned firearms decrease after the law? Much as we can productively debate who should or should not be allowed to own a firearm, I don't think there's much disagreement that there is some class of people who _shouldn't_.

I don't think it's possible to prove causality. But it stands to reason that decreasing the supply of weapons raises the price making it harder to acquire them legally or illegally. And the cost of making legal gun ownership harder seems to be minimal.
