Banning guns is just silly. What would be the point? Stop deaths? Pah, murders are murders, if they dont have a gun they will use a knife. Anything can be used as a lethal weapon.

Like it or not, a vast majority of americans enjoy guns. They enjoy hunting with them, they enjoy just shoting them. If you take guns away from people then are taking a little bit of freedom from them.
However with a knife it is possible to disarm the person with a sheet or pillow. Much more difficult to disarm someone with a gun. Plus you have a chance to escape outrun a person with a knife, with a gun outrunning and dodging become very tricky.
