Logically:

If there were no guns in the US, there would be zero gun homicides.

Therefore guns are part of the problem.

Any statement that says guns are not part of the problem must be incorrect.

I don't disagree with your conclusion but your logic is incorrect.

If there was no food or water in the US then there would also be zero gun homicides. Food and water are obviously not a cause or related to a problem but the logic is exactly the same.

But you can’t get rid of guns in the US. All you can modulate is the rate of legal gun ownership.
