There is no other tool in the world that puts a 90 pound woman on equal footing with a 200 pound man. To deny people their right of self defense, or putting strange technology on top of such a right, is tantamount of tyranny.
Everyone seems to "care so much" about gun violence right up until they need a gun to defend themselves. Maybe you'll get more traction when every progressive candidate takes the first steps by disarming their bodyguards and refusing to wear body armor. Or are these people special in that they are allowed to defend themselves because that matter more than you, your mother, your father, your wife, your daughter, or your son? They would like you to believe that though I'm sure if you searched in your heart long enough you'd come to the conclusion you matter more than they do.
The only people that benefit from a disarmed society are the elite and the politicians. A government afraid of it's people is an effective and fair government. I cannot believe people exist that trust politicians.
Also, as a side note, your sources are garbage. The Atlantic is hardly unbiased especially with regards to guns and your quoted data is demonstrably false by simply going to the FBI homicide database and watching the trendline go down below almost every other form of death since the 1960s (historically the most violent period for guns in history). Leftist misinformation mills like gifford's law and moms demand action are the anti-vax flat earthers of the self defense world. Absolute smoothbrains.
EDIT: Downvote me all you want, it doesn't change reality. It is no surprise that gun crimes occur most frequently in gun free zones. Yet our solution is more gun free zones. This is the moronic smoothbrain flat earth thinking typical of moms demand action and their politicians in their pocket.
