If they outlaw the guns, the criminals will simply buy them on the black market.
Know what happens then? Criminals walk into a house confident that the victims in that house can't defend themselves. At the most, they'll have to fend off a parent with a baseball bat or a knife. No contest as long as they see that parent coming. They'll just shoot the parent.

Other countries have outlawed guns. Did it stop the killing? No. It simply raised the killing done by other means - like knives.
It's also raised the general crime rate since the criminals know the people don't have guns.

Read up on Victoria and its 300% rise in violent crimes since guns were taken away from the people.
