Alternatively, introduce a better option (say, widely available and
inexpensive yet highly accurate, portable, efficient, silent, and powerful
laser weaponry) and suddenly crazy people won't want guns anymore.

Even crazy people will choose the best tool at their disposal for the job. If
guns aren't available, will they resort to knives? Yep, but knives are a lot
less efficient and require the assumption of additional risk due to the
proximity to the victim that is required.
