Banning carrying of firearms in not a solution, as it has been said it only disarms those carrying lawfully to begin with. A solution would be to achieve a state in society where carrying of firearms would not be seen as a necessity, but how to go about that, I do not know.
There are a number of social issues that need to be addressed, that much is certain, before the public perception of safety changes. But given what american culture is like (with my limited knowledge of it) that seems unlikely to happen any time soon.
