Deterrance isn't mutually exclusive to disarmament, unless you're using some special definition of disarmamennt.
That being said, complete disarmament doesn't work, and complete lack of disarmament doesn't work either. Disarmament relies that everyone be disarmed. No police force that is reasonably restrained can keep a people completely disarmed. But you can still put a cap on the level of the weapons with regulation of the weapon types, and overall people will be more secure. So you don't have a completely helpless public, vulnerable to the few criminals with guns, and you don't have anyone with a minigun strutting through the streets.
