Not at all. I have already given the example of Switzerland which has very lax gun laws but does not have this problem.
The Second Amendment was put into the Constitution by the Founding Fathers as a final defence against tyanny arising in America. It was put in there so that the state could never become too out of control or else the people can rise up and overthrow it: hence why the act most dictators first introduce when they take over is to demand the seizure of all guns in order to prevent any threat to their power. The Second Amendment is staying and cannot be removed in that constitutional republic, so you and other anti-gun campaigners - including the hypocrite-in-chief Obama - are just going to have to get over that.
It's interesting too how skewed you are on this, mainly due to British media refusing to ever cover the stories: all the time in America and every day people's lives and safety are saved by guns. There's tonnes of stories out there of old ladies on their own or young families successfully defending themselves with guns.
