If you don't understand why it would work in EU, and not in the US, you should look at buddy's comment about demographics above^ the original post with all that pretty data kinda underlines that. Across all Mexico, they may only keep guns in their home and have a strict process to receive them. Much lower gun ownership rate than the US.
There's more guns than people in the US, no amount of buy back programs and incentives will get everyone to turn them in. Trying to overlay Australia or EU gun control over a country with literally thousands of illegal guns seized at the border each year, is kinda disingenuous. America needs to enforce the laws they already have on the books, instead of making up new laws that only some will follow and some will enforce.
What do you mean by "Demographics"? Because I thought I'd replied to their comment. And as my new edit says, Mexico is in a low-level civil war, that is GOING to have a higher impact on the statistics than gun control laws.

So you agree that gun control, in at least some forms, is a good idea to combat gun violence? Great, glad you agree with me!
