Yes, various degrees of prohibition can have some effect in the matters related to the ban, according to many researchers, though not according to all.Well, if you were to simply look at the charts you presented and take nothing else into account as far as social/cultural changes then one could/would see it/view it your way pretty easily.
So what are the "social/cultural" changes?
I would be curious too. Suicides are more commonly abusing weapons recently. A while ago, many more people believed in the Jim Crow interpretation, that only government employees have a right. That was all they taught in the law schools for years. The standard model academic research is only a few decades old. The NRA and the gun issue have become far more politicized, with the Brady center following suit . Still, the red valuing of weapons and rural uses of them are quite old. I don't doubt that the issue has changed recently. It has. But which aspects do you consider as changing most?
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
