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.
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.
