Is there gun control in other countries?
Yes. Most cities have more onerous gun control laws than the United States does. However, many of them still have higher crime rates than the US does, and within the US, the states and cities with the strictest gun control laws often have the highest crime rates, such as Chicago and Washington, D.C.
Can gun control work?
The thing people need to realise about so-called gun control is that it does not equate to crime control. If it's being imposed for the sake of a political agenda, it can certainly work to a political aim. If it's being imposed as a feel good measure - a substitute for actual crime deterrence and control - it cannot.

Should the US strengthen gun control laws?
Yes, gun control is important, but NOT to the extreme degree we see in the US today. Gun control does NOTHING to lower crime, gun control makes buying guns hard, and state laws become stricter. However, gun crimes are commited by criminals, and do criminals buy gun at gun stores?, No, if they did, they'd be arrested when the clerk sees his background record. In reality, criminals get their guns illegally from the Black Market and are smuggled onto the streets. You can have the strictest laws ever, but it wont stop gun crime, if a criminal is going to kill with an assault rifle, he WILL do it, wil he go to jail?, of course, but that illegal assault weapon that was smuggled in, just killed someone, even though the law says assault weapons arent legal. So all gun control does, is make it harder for normal law respecting citizens to exersize their second amendment right. NOTHING else. You can make the strictest laws you can think of, and gun crime will still be the same.
How has the right to carry a gun affected the crime levels in the US?
The impact of the right to carry a gun on crime levels in the US is a topic of debate. Some studies suggest that allowing individuals to carry firearms can deter crime by giving potential victims the means to defend themselves. However, other research indicates that increased gun availability can also lead to more gun-related violence and homicides. Factors such as gun control laws, socioeconomic conditions, and cultural attitudes towards guns also play a role in influencing crime rates.
