No, this means in the long-term even their access would become more difficult. If they were illegally manufactured, that would be another problem to solve, but the current situation is that they are legally manufactured and the industry is not regulated, and that can be dealt with.
In fact, it's widely accepted that the lack of regulation in the industry causes a lot of the problems we see today, so much that the UN will try and impose a treaty for nations to regulate the gun industry. It's probably going to fail but that's to illustrate the point. The logic, stats and evidence are well-documented on the amnesty international's website. You can also search for information on the UN gun control treaty.
Although most sites you'll find at first are being sponsored by the billion dollar death industry.
I've been doing my research for years and following this issue closely, so I guess that answers your question regarding "do I know what I'm talking about".
If you're not going to consider serious credible stats, then you are not dealing with the issue rationally.
