The problem is that not only the US but also many other countries have been saturated with weapons, I live in Honduras guns are very easily acquired, not legally but you can buy one without having to go too far. But in a place where guns are not available, introducing guns is kind of dumb, during the 70's I lived on a small island off of the coast of Honduras, population about 2,500 in four years there was only one murder/suicide, two people dead because the guy, who was a policeman had some terminal illness and killed his wife and then himself, see he had a weapon because he was a policeman. But after I left guns were slowly introduced and murders became much more common, so yes guns do have an incidence on murders, unfortunately the gun industry has made so many, and sold them to so many people that now it is practically impossible to eradicate them, thus your article is right, but only because by mistake guns were allowed into the mainstream culture.
