Of course, but having far less guns on the street than our southern neighbour is still an overall very good thing. And it's a silly conservative argument to say that just because you can't block ALL guns EVER being sold to criminals, that blocking the majority is no longer worthwhile. It's still worth it if it's meaningfully harder (which it already is with the PAL).
Yeah, the idea that it won't stop mass shootings and suicides is silly - it empirically has. When they talk about civil liberties I start wondering if they have a point, though.
That being said, I don't expect a military coup any time soon. I worry a lot more about surveillance and technology lock-in slowly eroding our choices in much more subtle ways.
