There is something also worthy of mention; what I call the pig sty effect. Most of the nations with stricter gun control in Europe also have a greater population density, such that this pig sty effect is of a greater worry than it is in most of the USA. The same is true in New York, where guns are more restricted than elsewhere in the States.
Basically, from a biological standpoint, pigs are very similar to humans. Pigs in a sty behave far worse than if they were not. In the sty, they fight a lot, eat their own poop, etc. I also have a theory; that a place like New York is also likely to become a sty. Ghettos are essentially cities gone wrong. Ghettos might as well have no gun control at all.
In some parts of NYC that means due to guns the life expectency of males is only about 18yrs old, meaning this life expectancy is due to the pig sty effect. We can't even get the guns out of these ultra-poor areas because it is the children who are the one's pulling the trigger, and children with guns is a very scary idea.
A good movie about this idea, is City of God.
Thus, to respect population as a trigger for gun related violence, gun control should not even be controlled at the state level, but at the district level, especially so that we can keep guns out of the hands of people in more populated areas, such as cities.
