This entire issue is multi layered one, easy access to firearms is just one of many. I don't think there is a country in the world which doesn't allow you to own fire arms, yet country like US is suffering from mass shootings on daily basis which will only grow as its on snowball effect at the moment. More shootings more people will want to protect themselves which will introduce more guns into circulation which will increase chances in someone getting hands on a gun which will increase shootings... Rinse and repeat. You can get 1 000 000 valid honest gun owners, but you only need ONE to cause quite a bit of damage. Make it harder to get hands on a gun will filter out quite a bit of people who are now getting one without any training or any background checks, yes, this is a thing, you can buy legally a gun in US without ANY background checks. How to do it? Go to gun shows... Buy from second hand... Its not required legally for you to present any papers, so you can have one clean buyer which can then legally resell all those guns all over the place.
Answering to your question. Yes, it went down. Mass shooting count went down. Violent crimes went down in general.
Guns on their own causes more harm in shorter period of time with less effort put into it. Like that saying goes "don't bring a knife to a gunfight", because one will always win over the other. I would rather take criminal with a knife than the one with a gun, even if in first case I didn't had a gun and in second one I did. Gun is still more dangerous independent what you have for self defense. And more people you have with guns around you more on edge you will be yourself by knowing that anyone at any point could just lose their marbles and start shooting everyone. Solution? More guns?... Well, that doesn't work as of clear example with US.
