Great argument. I have the answer. Let's just give everyone a fucking gun. Hell, let's make them fully automatic assault weapons.

of course there is still the issue of black markets and straw purchasers, but even if it deters only a handfull of murders a year its a law worth having.
Cry me a fucking river if you have to wait a couple days before you can get a gun.
