Short answer : not working.
To be honest making guns available is the worst mistake there is to be done, it makes crimes more extreme, people and police reactions and acts more extreme and deaths more likely to happen. And what makes matter is the mentality of thinking that if anyone can access to a gun then I need a gun myself to defend my self, making even more guns that are easily available .... rather than plainly asking for the removal of such gun from other persons.

Slightly off-topic, but while some people may be tempted to admire little city-states like Singapore for their tough laws and low crime rates, let's not forget that there is a flip side to that coin:

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, said a company like Apple could not emerge in societies like Singapore where “bad behavior is not tolerated” and people are not taught to think for themselves.
“Look at structured societies like Singapore where bad behavior is not tolerated [and] you are extremely punished” Mr. Wozniak said in a recent interview with the BBC. “Where are the creative people? Where are the great artists? Where are the great musicians? Where are the great writers?”

Singapore banned chewing gum and will also cane you for not flushing a public toilet. Sounds like laws every country should aspire to.
The laws against vandalism are quite tough in Singapore. The country banned chewing gum, as tourists were spitting it all over the place. I am not saying that other countries should copy Singapore, but crime rate is so low there for a reason. In Singapore, no one can evade law (unlike the United States and South Africa), and if you are not ready to obey the laws, it will be better to immigrate to some other country.
In Singapore, no one is allowed to have gun - only the authority (police etc) can have. Thus, there is no need to be afraid that someone would came into your house and start shooting. You say the police? Well.. Singapore wain the top ten least corruption list 2014..
So, I think other country should implant the same law Singapore have. No one should be allowed to have gun.

Haha, really? You just burn that guy. On a funny note, did you know about the bathing baby law of cali?
In Los Angeles, It is not legal to bathe two babies at the same time in the same tub :p
There are more insane laws in cali like these:
In Riverside, Kissing on the lips, unless both parties wipe their lips with carbonized rose water, is against the local health ordinance.
In Walnut, No person shall wear a mask or disguise on a public street without a permit from the sheriff.

I'am personally against owning a gun but with too .
I like it how my country do it basically , please don't take this the wrong way I don't mean that normal citizens with average income have a cheap life .
Well basically here to own a gun you simply to be a Business man or something important on the society , that's all . and to be honest it's better that way , and killing here is a lot less then countries that allows owning guns .

i agree with you normal citizens dont need a gun but buisness men on the other hand run a larger risk so having bodyguards and carrying a gun is pretty natural for a rich buisnessman

ROFLMAO.... You can't even compare Singapore with high crime countries such as the United States and Mexico. Violent crimes are extremely rare in Singapore, as the punishments are severe. The population is law abiding. There are no major ethnic gangs in Singapore and the police force is thoroughly professional.
Violent criminals can't be punished if they aren't caught. I'm surprised to hear that there is 1 police officer per potential victim in Singapore to ensure that effectively no violent crime can occur without a police officer able to catch the violent criminal instantly.

There are some situation differences between Singapore and other countries. You could said that because you are living in peaceful area, and I think Singapore is the best place. But, what would you do if you are living in full of crime place, which there are evil guys around your house. You need a tool that can secure your family and home from them.

Mexico is one of the largest drug exporters, and they smuggle almost all of the USA drugs in. Also the mexican drug cartels, and athe very high crime and murder rate they have, comes over here.
There is supply from Mexico, because the demand is there in the United States. Even if the supply routes from Mexico are closed down, the drug addicts in the United States will get their drugs from some other place, such as Colombia or Haiti. And there are tens of millions of Mexicans living in the United States, and it is possible that at last some of them are members of various drug cartels.
Says it all.
People need the gun if they are living in a place that full of crimes, because they must use it to prevent violent action to their family or robbery in their home, since the police can't do anything in that place. Why we need that if we are living in peaceful area. So, the point is what the purpose of we need the gun.
The difference between the UK and the US is a lot. Do you have places like detroit, chicago, do you have mexico right below your country, do you have lots of drug cartels, or gangs, as much as we do?
No. Period.
No. Period.
Why is Mexico relevant?

Why is Mexico relevant?
Because the cartels from Mexico are active on US soil too.
And the Mexican military has a penchant for crossing the border with air and ground forces. http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2014/06/27/report-mexican-military-chopper-crosses-into-us-shoots-at-border-agents/

Because if a criminal wants a gun they are going to get it, law or no law. If the criminal has a gun I want one too.
It's much, much easier in America. In the UK we barely have any gun crime. Because guns are much, much harder to get hold of. It's not rocket science.Because getting murdered/raped/maimed/etc with anything other than a gun (at the highest rate in Europe, last I heard) is morally superior to lawfully shooting a violent criminal (and likely not killing them) in self-defense.

Gun control is about control. It isn't about guns.
Originally in the world, control was imbedded in respect for other people. The respect has withered so that control has been lost.
Probably in America (and many other countries) gun freedom should be re-introduced gradually. People will die, of course. But they are dying anyway. Guns aren't the cause of death. Lack of control is.
Once there is gun freedom, the people who don't respect others will die off. Respectful people will live on in peace.
Think about it. If we could remove all guns from the world like poof!, people would simply start making them again. Do you trust the police and military to be the only ones to have them? Better to arm all the people to the hilt, and let the disrespectful ones kill themselves off.
