Would it be better for the United States to get rid of gun laws or to stricken them?

No it would NOT!! Let me tell why. If guns are outlawed or stricken, then only outlaws will get guns or better guns. If the US get rid of guns, then outlaws will get guns illegally and not worry when the civilians are armed and do whatever they want because some/most outlaws don't think the police or law can stop them. If the US stricken gun laws, then outlaws will get better guns. They might be prepared if the civilians are armed. Some might say the police will handle it, but it takes them a few minutes or sooner to get there. When civilians are armed then t's a fair fight life and dead. When civilians are armed and the bad guys are armed then it's a fair fight which no one wants. When civilians are unarmed and bad guys are armed then the bad guys might accomplished what they want and some/most don't think the police can stop them.
