To be honest, I don't really care if you have a pistol or a shotgun even. I don't want assault rifles to be easily accessible by people who want to murder children, LTBTQ people, or whoever else is deemed each week to deserve a mass murder.
I say ban all guns, or at least the guns that are designed to murder mass amounts of people.
Evil will always exist. You can't take evil out of humanity. Many places thought they could and never succeeded (e.g. communism thought they could somehow overrule mankind's tendency towards greed)
Removing guns from good people will only ensure good people will be attacked by evil people, whether inside or outside of your desired utopia.
Did you look at the papers I linked? One is about how Australia instituted a ban on guns and immediately not only saw a drop to zero mass shootings but also numerous other benefits including general murder rates dropping
