Is that a solution to a problem, or just a change in social mores? It solves the problem of people being dangerous with guns, by stopping them having guns. Same as with legs. Most crimes and dangerous actions are facilitated by the use of legs, so further harm reduction could be carried out by cutting everybody's legs off. And personally I'd support that, I never liked walking much anyway and it annoys me when people have busy lifestyles, but the plan won't get widespread support because it's against customary expectations. People enjoy, and expect to maintain, the use of their legs: they claim it's important.
