In my opinion, we should ban all guns except for hunting purposes, and I would also limit hunting.
Banning guns/strict gun laws work
Examples:
USA- lax gun laws 15 people killed by guns per 100,000 a year
Switzerland-lax gun laws-6 people per 100,000
Uk-bans guns- 0.49 for England/Wales per 100,000, 0.6 for Scotland
Hong kong-bans guns 0.19 per 100,000
Japan-bans guns 0.07 per 100,000
South Korea-bans guns- 0.13 per 100,000
If we banned guns, we would have a lot less gun-related deaths.
Where did you get these numbers? There's no way Switzerland is higher than UK, much less 10x higher.

Still, countries with less strict gun laws tend to have more murders than countries with stricter gun laws. Fine, I'll do murders.
Even just with murders
Us-7.07
Switzerland-0.58
England/Wales 0.07
Scotland 0.2
Hong Kong 0.12
South Korea 0.04
Japan 0.02
Just note that you're talking about homicide by firearms. Also some of the figures in that article are nearly two decades old. If you look at overall more recent murder rates (not just guns), Switzerland is lower than the other countries you listed.

The issue here is gun control, correct?

Yes, but I don't really see how being killed with a gun is worse than being killed any other way.
