Self defense is a natural right. 

Gun control is an invasion of a natural or inalienable right.

Gun Control Laws In Israel

I was thinking more along the lines of hearing repeated stories of defenseless families being slaughtered in their homes. The visceral impact would inspire the wish to at least "take one of them out with you" when your loved ones are about to be killed. These repeated stories and images also must shake people's faith in trusting your government to protect you.
At least I hope so.
