While in the future there may be a way to cure whatever creates violent actions but it's simply a pipe dream at this stage. Humans are violent, they rage, they get hurt, angry, we react and act with the intent to win, sometimes at any cost. That's part of our core programming, even if in the future it's possible to suppress there would be ethical questions about if we should. Who will defend us from unpredicted future abuse if not people who are ready to take violent action for themselves or others?
I feel cities are pretty safe because of a large amount of police in a fairly small area, I have no problem walking around NY City or any major City without a pistol. It's already illegal to do so some places and that's cool, whatever works for them.. The vast majority of the US however has no police force that could respond before you are dead even if you called 911 as soon as you suspected possible future threat. It's not that difficult to get to places in the US that you can't get a cell signal and even if you could call 911 and somehow managed to know where you were it'd be a half an hour to get a police officer there.
Most gunshots near me are from hunting are from shooting ranges. No one would report a gunshot, not even a police officer unless they either saw something bad or it was happening too close to someone's house. I doubt I've ever even heard a gunshot related crime and doubt 99.9% of people living around me have either.
What works for guns in cities does not work outside of cities, different places, different problems.
