Of course making guns harder to get won't end gun deaths Paul, neither will end crime. But it will increase the difficulty that much. Its like:
"What's the point in making anti DUI campaigns? People will still drive drunk!"
"What's the point in making anti tobacco campaigns? People will still smoke and die from it!"
The point is not to end gun deaths, it is to DECREASE them. Even if increasing the difficulty of getting guns saved only one life it would be worth it. I don't say to prohibit them completely, but make it harder to get. To have a gun here legally for instance, you need a physical and psychiatric evaluation, then take a few lessons on handling guns
