No, there is actually a pretty decent alternative between US “gun control” (or lack of it) and complete disarmament. It is what is being used in most of the world. Actual gun regulations which involves gun licences and having to qualify for them.

And it needs to be on a federal level. Any gun regulation laws on state level in the US are just pointless posturing, since gun proliferation will just continue in less regulated states infecting the more regulated ones.
