while i do agree with your point of view, as I own a couple hunting guns, i wouldn't care if assault weapons are banned, those are specifically made to kill people.

And several news studies have shown it's impossible to stop the off the record selling of guns because people sell them illegally in parking lots. I saw a big news report on it, this one guy was selling a barret 50 cal to complete strangers no questions asked.

unstable people can get hold of hammers pretty easily too, what's your point

You can't mow down a crowd of people with a hammer
inb4 thor

and baseball bats, cars, and knifes. All used more in murders then guns

yea thats the united states only because they can get hold of guns, look up rates for other countries that can't for a fair comparison of what it would be like without the guns.

Canada, seems to have very lenient gun laws:
www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/canada - Rougly 1/3

Norway, very lenient gun laws for a European first-world nation;
www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/norway - Roughly 1/10, though this varies wildly because of the low numbers.

Japan, stricy laws:
www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/japan - 1/21.

The UK, very strict gun laws;
www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-kingdom - Roughly 1/30.

You have a good point.

Also, you can make anything you can grab into a weapon, fyi.

Hammers, baseball bats, a garden hose, a chain, forks, fire pokers, your fists, ect.

I could kill as many people with molotov cocktails as I could with a semi-automatic weapon. Should we ban glass bottles and gasoline as well?

even though I'm against gun control. I'd really like to see you try

Im completely against it too, I believe enough gun control exists already.

How many of them can hit multiple targets within a matter of seconds like a gun?

That is my point.

The. Gun. Is. A. Tool. Just like a hammer.
