No guns, less murder

Yes or no.

If you mean that guns were never invented? I'd still say "No". The numbers would still indicate homicide rates by sword, knife, poison, etc. and be pretty much equal between countries.

If you mean suddenly all guns dissappeard: Then, "Yes". It would be harder to kill, so less would do it.

If you mean a country implementing new gun control laws / taking guns back from the public: "No". By stats, such actions by countries do not limit the number of gun deaths and homicide rates stay the same or continue to rise.

By my opinion (and yes, much of it is opinion regardless of stats), that's 2 "no's" and 1 "yes".
