If Guns Are The Problem, Is The Solution More Guns?

From I don't know where to begin:

America...seriously? Guns in England aren't legal. While we still get gun crime, we don't get as much of it as you do in America, and I honestly can't remember the last time we had some kid go into school and blow his friends brains out...but regardless it was a long time ago.

Does this not make sense? You don't need a gun to defend yourself with if no-one else has a gun to attack you with!
