As things continue to divide there in terms of wealth inequality, my bet is gun crime/homicide rises regardless of gun-ownership levels. It may have already started. I haven't looked. My numbers are from The Guardian in 2012. But that's the answer to that one. Socioeconomics.

This is going to seem like a non-sequitur, but I don't think it is. There are many factors that led to the decline in gun homicides after its peak in 1993. But one thing to consider is this: It peaked around that time *everywhere*. Not just in the US.
More specifically, violent crime (murder especially, regardless of implement used) peaked almost everywhere in the world between 1991 and 1996, then began declining. This excludes places where wars have started, or other major calamities.

Because of that, it's pretty easy to rule out "gun laws" such as the Brady Bill as a source of our decline in gun homicides. There was only a Brady Bill here, obviously. But we can go farther than just "it wasn't gun control laws."

Roe v Wade was ruled in 1973. At that point, unwanted babies were born at a lesser and lesser rate. Prior to that, women would be forced to have the kid, and kids people don't want often are raised poorly. They end up much more likely to be criminals.
