The issue isn't guns or gun control, it is mental health.

198 killed, 147 injured. Daegu subway fire, Daegu, South Korea: 2/18/2003. A 56 year old unemployed taxi driver, dissatisfied with his medical treatment, sets fire to a crowded train.


The list goes on...
I found spreadsheet of mass killings, the US is lumped in with the "Americas" which for the time period listed has 108 mass killings, Asia 127, Oceania/South East Asia 124, Europe 95. Asia, Oceania/South East Asia, and Europe have strict gun control laws. In those places, the killings are committed with a knife or vehicle. So if we got rid of all gun ownership, these killings would not stop, their weapons of choice would just change.
