Try light weight bullet proof clothes for the Average Joe therefore making guns weak and irrelevent forcing societies to turn to a new weapon for causing bodily harm and/or destruction.
Could science solve our gun violence problems?

No one will promote absolute world peace as long as opinions and morals differ.

ammo is the perfect item to buy in bulk.
1) You can go through it quickly. 100rds for a day at the range is easy
2) It doesn't go bad; store it somewhere dry, and your great grandchildren will be able to use it.
3) It often comes in boxes of 500, and there are often better deals if you buy a lot at once.

>where are the calls to ban alcohol, to ban automobiles
People have been trying to end drunk driving for decades.

(OP)
33,000 people die from firearm related injuries in the US every year
22,000 are from suicide
11,000 are from accidents, homicides, police shootings and shootings from other criminal activities
With a population of nearly 325 million
11,000 non suicidal firearm related deaths is statistically insignificant, difficult for families involved, but as far as being an "Epidemic", not even close, not even on the radar
10,000 people are killed in the US each year by by alcohol impaired drivers, where is the outrage over "Automobile" violence, where are the calls to ban alcohol, to ban automobiles
Influenza (the Flu) and pneumonia kill , 55,000 people every year, where is the war on the Flu, where are the sob stories
Diabetes, kills 77,000, again no outrage, no teary-eyed news anchors, no memorials, no hashtags, people are just as dead, 7 times the number of intentional firearm deaths
Plain old Accidents, fell down, off a ladder, slipped, tripped, ect, kill 137,000 a year, 13 times as many as intentional firearm deaths, no this looks more like a large problem, but out of 325 million still not a big deal
615,000 die every year from heart disease, almost entirely preventable, and with measures that do not require a re-writing of the constitution, 55 times the rate of IFD, all those families hurt just as badly, where are the go-fund me money beggars, were are the candlelight vigils
More people die from heart disease than died in all the battles of The War of Northern Aggression, that's 200,000 more every year than all US deaths in WWII, every year, where are the speeches in Congress
More people die in the US every year from Heart Disease than all the US casualties in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, every single year, but instead all the tears are being shed for the 11,000 killed by firearms
Spare me, please
It is all about power, taking away from one group so another can rule with impunity

Good job ending your statistics with a conspiracy theory. I almost started to take you seriously.

Mostly half ass attempts
I my own state they just made getting a 10th DUI/DWI a 4th degree felony, until then the rest are misdemeanors, no one gets any real time, any real consequences
If I shoot and kill someone in my neighborhood, I will do 25 to life easily, if I get drunk and run them down killing them 3-5, one is murder the other "just an accident", both are just as dead, both are intentional
Instead of shooting someone you hate, have few beers and run them down
My state even has the police back off after major sporting events, so as not to affect ticket sales by being "too aggressive" about drunk driving
Even after 10 DUI/DWI's you have to go to a Motor Vehicle Court for them to decide if you lose your license, almost never happens
Try to get tougher laws passed, same shit, "It will affect minorities ans the poor the hardest, you want to criminalize a disease, their culture"

murder per capita is about 4 times higher in the US than the UK, but I don't know if it has anything to do with guns

>inb4 that is literally impossible
>inb4 someone fires a blank and magnets go off
>inb4 pacemakers and metal implants are ripped out
>inb4 every phone and computer in the area gets bricked
>inb4 magnets can't stop bullets
>inb4 you aren't near a building so nothing happens
>inb4 we can't detect the 'exact vibrational pulse of a gunshot'
>inb4 this doesn't stop any murders and just forces people to find loopholes
I have a better idea: let's have police hiding in the walls of buildings, and when the exact vibrational pulse caused by domestic violence is detected, they are ejected out like a cannon to intervene.

The UK does not count a death as a murder until someone is convicted. If you find a body with 12 stab wounds, but never catch the killer, it wasn't murder.

"Since 1967, homicide figures for England and Wales have been adjusted to exclude any cases which do not result in conviction"
