Edged wweapons were the secondmost common murder weapon in the list. Over 16% of the murders on that list used edged weapons. Knives, etc.

Are you planning on banning knives? It wouldn't be possible to run a restaurant or kitchen anymore.

If by some odd chance you are right about firearms actually causing murders, why are knives second on the list, well past other types of firearms? Hell, even baseball bats apparently were used more often than rifles!

You are not even remotely interested in curtailing violence in this country. You just want to ban guns, and you have fooled yourself into thinking that banning guns equals reducing crime. Without addressing the real causes of crime, people without guns will use knives, as they clearly do, to kill people. If you want to really reduce violent crime, then address why it is in our society that guns are seen as a solution. Address poverty. Address intolerance and racism. Address spousal and family abuse. Address the issues concerning living in a crowded urban environment, which is completely unnatural and artificial.

Nah. It's just easier to ban guns and lie yourself into believing that you fixed all of societies' problems, isn't it?
