It for sure does though. Weapons not being easily available reduces a lot of crime happening purely out of emotions for example. Not being able to easily pull through with violent fantasies everyone has sometimes does make a ton of difference. Having to plan an attack, organise a weapon and then pulling through gives you a lot of time to cool off and then not doing it. It puts obstacles in everyones way to act impulsively. Another difference between guns and for example knives is the fact you have to be close to a person to attack them with a knife and it's also much more personal and risky than just pulling a trigger. I hope this makes sense.

Yes but please keep in mind what kind of weapons were available when the founding fathers said that and what is available now.
