The US is different because many people can successfully carry out their assault to lethal means. I agree that is a problem. But the bigger problem is the assaults themselves. They need to be addressed, a cure needs to be found for them. You lower assault rates and you lower gun homicide. It’s a simple correlation.
Sure, assaults need to be addressed... too.
But that is not an excuse for doing nothing about guns. You can do something about both, and one doesn't have to be at the expense of the other.
