I agree, risk zero does not exists, but there is a lot that can be done before platoeing
To put things in perspective, these are some stats about Firearm-related death rate per 100,000 population per year

Unintentional 0.15
Undetermined 0.10
Guns per 100 inhabitants 120.5

As you can see the death rate appears to be strongly correlated to the amount of firearms circulating: USA has ten times the number of firearms of Italy (proportionally to the population) and 10 times the deaths, Japan has 1/200 of the firearms of USA and 1/600 of the deaths, Japan owns 1/20th of the firearms of Italy and has 1/60 of the deaths.
It appears as if we have different mindsets, and that's okay. It seems like we both agree there's a problem, but may differ as to the cause/solution or way to lessen the problem, and only wish the best for everyone. I'm pretty sure neither of are going to change our thoughts about guns based on this thread here.
I'm familiar with the concept and I do not want to change your mind.
I also wish the best for everybody too, I lived in the USA and still have many friends there and many of them, of course, disagree with me on this and it's ok.
I've said "appears to be strongly correlated" because I know Americans are sensitive about this topic, after all it's a Constitutional right.
But in the end when the stats of your country are the worst among "first World" countries, places like Nicaragua, Mexico and South Africa do better and Colombia is only slightly worse, maybe it's time to try something radically different, because whatever it's going on right now in the USA it's clearly not working.
