In PL almost no one has guns, and most of the ones that do are hunters. I think < 1% of the population has firearms. Gun crime is absolutely unheard of here because of this BUT the situations Poland has previously been in allow this to work. Taking away guns in the US will absolutely end up with "bad guys with guns, good guys defenseless"...
