Guns don't kill people, at least tightly controlled guns. If they do, then the killer was whoever controls it. And not just corporations. Intelligence agencies, non-tech corporations, actors with enough money and so on.

The not-so-tightly controlled ones, at least in the hands of individuals not in a position of power or influence, may run into the risk of becoming illegal in a way or another. The system will always try to get into an artificial scarcity position.

this is insightful yes, but the implication is that "control" itself is some kind of answer. The history of organized warfare, among many topics, speaks otherwise.
