In the 1990s there was some crazy fuck that shot and killed 35 people in Aus and within 3 months the government acted and removed 100'000s of guns (pretty sure it wasclose to a million by all said and done) off the streets and homicide rates dropped drastically. In fact of the small gun deaths in our nation (about 200 per year total stats) 35-40% of those are by suicide.

As someone who has been in the American bar scene who has seen a lot of battery at house parties and other places as well as received battery...
The world you describe where there are no guns is not one I'd want to exist as a male of dating age.
Unfortunately establishments do everything they can to not report incidents to police because muh liquor license, so there is no way to know for sure. But seizing that many guns and establishing the chance of gun violence as nonfactor, seems like a surefire way to get punched in the face, a real real lot.
The only reason I've seen young males regulate themselves and stop violent crime in the U.S. is because of the looming threat that if things go too far, that guns could get involved or be used on them by friends in the moment or through retaliation months down the road.
Voted no on a country-wide gun free zone. Guns keep people honest.
