That only leaves the guns in the possession of the criminals. New Zealand is a good example.

True but surely you end up with a race to bottom. Gun related crime is far lower in the uk

To Sarah's excellent comment below. Adrian, gun crime was lower in the Countries you site before gun bans - in fact all crime was. Factor that in. It destroys your argument. You're forgetting (or maybe you fully realize) most gun crime in America is being pushed and allowed by left wing elements, those with elitist law enforcement agendas, and entrenched bureaucrats in the government who only want more power by seeking to undermine the People's fundamental natural and God given rights to our own people and property by removing our ability to defend ourselves.

Who cares if it's gun related? If someone dies by a blunt instrument or a gun, it's the same outcome. You can't legislate morality.

Governments do legislate morality all the time. Abortion, purgery, freedom of speech, theft, public honesty and of course allowing or not allowing guns

Murder is the immoral act, not guns. You're confusing method with action. Guns are also an equalizer to allow the weak to protect themselves from the strong, which is a moral good. Hence action versus method. Also, gun crime was far lower in the UK before they were banned; there's a cultural distinction. The vast majority of gun crime in America is gang related.
