Want fewer gun deaths? get rid of as many guns as possible. The statistics back this up time and time again.
Switzerland requires all its citizens to spend time in the military. They have lots of guns and a high rate of gun deaths. England has very few guns and very few gun deaths per capita. The Economist has published a list of countries, guns per capita and gun deaths per capita. Its easy to look this up for yourself.
There are exceptions to the rule, but I don't think anybody here would consider Somalia a normal place or one to measure ourselves against.
