If you think they would be the consequence of banning and removing guns from society, you can test this theory by looking at any country which has already done this. What you find is that gun violence is extremely minimal in these countries. So turns out your worries are over nothing!
And you know who protect such society? That's right, folks with guns!
Militaries having guns is a very different thing to the general population having guns.

This does not say the militaries can have it.
