It also suggests that when you try to go reduce "gun violence" by going after guns, you're still left with "violence."

You can't make most bombs with just a trip to the grocery store. It takes a trip to the grocery store, the hardware store, and the pharmacy. Then you can most bombs yourself, assuming you have a junior high level of chemistry lab capability.
It's true that dictatorships and poorly run communist states are poor, but it's not a requirement of communism to monitor and terrorise its population - it's just the easiest way to keep them subjugated.
As Milton Friedman would say, capitalism is a necessary though not sufficient condition of freedom, and communism will naturally precipitate terror and tyranny. Communism is not a state under which anyone wants to live. The only thing it ever provided for in abundance was misery. The vast majority of people have to be forced to live under communism, and that requires terror.
