What makes you think that regulations/laws aimed at reducing can accomplish
that?  After all, they haven't anywhere, so why would those written
by gun-folk be any different?

Don't confuse "no guns, no gun crime" with "fewer guns, less gun
crime".  The former is a tautology - the latter is a theory.
Disarming most people is, at best, a complete waste of time, and it
doesn't seem possible to disarm the the wrong people, so there can't
be any benefits.

You demand a lot of gun owners.  How about giving something to
demonstrate the good faith that you've destroyed?  As long as no
"experiment" is ever repealed, no one is going to believe any "let's
try <whatever>".  Get rid of the gun laws that you feel don't reduce
crime, and then we'll have reason to talk.
