If this is not the case then please provide figures for the 1956 to 1974 period as well as something to compare them against from before gun control was established.

You've not heard of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge?

It is often said to have been one of the most violent regimes of the 20th century — on par with the regimes of Adolf Hitler and, in the views of many, Joseph Stalin. In terms of the number of people killed as a proportion of the population of the country it ruled and time in power, it was probably the most lethal regime of the 20th century. The organization received support while it was in power from the People's Republic of China, who intended to "box in" the Soviet-backed Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
