Well, key difference would be that it’s pretty tricky to make ammo in your house, and the demand for ammo isn’t enough to justify the smuggling costs for most of the country.
It’s kinda like how, despite having issues eradicating drugs, we have successfully inhibited the market for fully automatic weapons, lawn darts, kinder eggs and countless other things that aren’t addictive or at least inebriating.
With a population of 100’s of millions of people, small changes can lead to noticiable improvements. Especially in the medium to long term view.
There never will be a perfect solution, but there certainly is a lot of room to improve from the current status quo. And that road consists of thousands if not millions of tiny steps.
If we can’t get rid of drugs, I’m skeptical we could get rid of ammo, either.
