Oh sure, it’s ineffective in Iceland, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Romania, The UK, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Vietnam, New Zealand, and a hundred other countries around the world.
The amount of guns per 100 people in the US is 120 and the next highest is Yemen at 49. This isn’t a cultural issue, it’s a gun control issue.
No other country in the world has nearly the same number of guns in its borders.
Notice how many of the countries you describe have more than two political parties, universal healthcare, and aren’t the world’s superpower.
Violence largely happens due to stress, stress comes from poor living conditions, financial constraints and cultural issues(and more). Considering more than half of Americans are paycheck to paycheck, that we have to pay hundreds for medical care and that the average income is somewhere in the 40k range it’s pretty easy to see why so many people are mentally ill, violent and politically extreme.
On top of this you also have the hard to quantify issue of foreign powers attempting to influence, degrade, or propagand to the citizens of world’s main power which is another issue that adds an additional layer.
You need to understand the reasons for unreasonable actions to actually prevent them. Attack the source causes and not throw out a core part of the American identity because our shit ass politicians can’t be assed to think beyond the next election cycle.
If it was the guns, and not socioeconomic conditions as described in the post above, why does Mexico and 53(!!) other countries have a higher murder rate than the US?
Because they buy their guns in the US! no lie, the drugs come here and the guns go back. No question cartels have a huge interest in eliminating gun control.

Australia did not experience a significant drop in homicides when they banned guns
What about homicides due to guns? Mass shootings?
So its the tool, not the crime that matters? Its totally fine if I stab someone, but not if I shoot them?
