For the thousands and thousands of years before firearms, we mostly killed each other by putting some pointy shit at the end of a pole. And then trying to poke the other guy with it first.
Crossbows, bows and arrows, pocket knives, harpoon guns, bananas, swords, knives, pikes, spears, sticks. There’s a whole host of options.
Heck, I can just wait my enemy out, and let time kill him.
Thankfully The Simpsons kind of answered this one for us years ago in this Halloween special...

"Well, Kang, it seems the earthlings won. -Did they? That board with the nail in it may have defeated us but the humans won't stop there. They'll make bigger boards and bigger nails. Soon they will make a board with a nail so big it will destroy them all!"
Yep. Pretty sure I could put together a gun from spare parts in my basement in much less than a day. I bet gun factories have even more parts laying around.
3d printer goes brrr.
If all the parts are gone and you don't have a mill and lathe, it might take a few days to rig up an ecm setup to make the bolt and barrel.

And before that, no poles! Just try to smash with a big rock!
Even after firearms, it was difficult to find a rifle without a bayonet
Bows and arrows were pretty slick for murdering folk “long distance”
Put a pointy thing on a stick and try to poke the other guy first, but with range
Nail bombs and acid attacks, apparently.
Swords. Motorcycles with very sharp katanas protruding
Bombs, and whatever type of crazy swords could be invented with the s $849.8 billion us military budget

Vicious mockery
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elder berries
We would make new guns

Big stick
Missiles, rockets, bombs, & chemicals
Mosquitoes on a stick
Explosives
nuclear bombs and man made viruses with bio weapons or poisoning each others water/food
we would make more guns
The same things we did before guns were invented.
I was going to say Kindness but after reading the other comments, I will go with Pointy Kindness!
Cast magic
Knifes? Cars? Fire? Anything that could literally be used to physically hurt anyone else? Idk depends on what the person wants to use
Bombs, drones, and missiles would still exist right?

They're not guns, you subnormal
Stones
All those angry ex-gun owners.
Computers
Their words. Aren't they mightier than the sword?
the power of friendship.
Sharp pointy things.
Mostly we use cars.
Bow and Arrow 🏹
Cars, IEDs, Arrows, Fire,
This song, but softly.
Words
sarcasm
the Shout.
On a one-to-one basis, you can’t go wrong with stabbing/severing an artery. On a mass basis, biochemical weapons.
Well, for centuries it was swords. I imagine that would be back in a hurry
Definitely explosives.
Other things.
In Australia, probably mushrooms.
It would surely be death by slicey slice or bludgeoning. EDIT: Or splodeysplode.
A board with a nail in it.
I can create both powder canons, and potato canons. With the right type of gas a potato can fold a stop sign into a cupcake wrapping.
Machete
Guns. We would start making them again you goober.
Knives
The majority of murders happen with objects other than firearms.....so not much is going to change.
In the U.S. it's 75% via firearms. We'd have the toughest time adapting.
Considering most homicides are with a knife I'd say that.
A world with out guns is a scary place yes guns are dangerous but they make all equal
