More people are killed by being kicked to death than by "black rifles", any rifles in the US. (Check the CDC & FBI Stats) 3/4 of gun deaths are Suicides (again check the CDC & FBI Stats)
The number of gun deaths by the decades from the 60's up to the 90's were proportionally much higher than today, except for the last 2 years. Crime, and gun deaths have been falling since the 90's.
Maybe if we looked at the underlying social conditions that generate violence we might find actual solutions, you know social inequalities, piss poor education, that giant sucking sound of despair from low wages, high rents, families under stress due to economic policies favouring the few over the many. All I see is diversion from the real issues. This is the football for liberal media, as is voting suppression, abortions are for conservative media. We are all being played, daily.
If gun ownership was the problem, then the deaths from guns would be incredibly higher. 125 million people own guns in this country. Do the numbers.
Look to the success of the "Drug War" as a clue.
I am saying this as someone who has been firmly in the Left politically for their whole life. You cannot solve problems with more laws, but applying the current laws, and working on the basics to help people in general.
