Here's a thing. Guns facilitate killing. This is what makes them different from other kinds of weapons. It's easier to kill someone with a gun than a knife. You don't have to approach a target and fight with him. And if, let's say, a psycho wants to kill thirty something students in a classroom, using a knife for this or a machete would be fairly impractical. Not saying it would be impossible but a gun makes killing easier and faster.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking from experience. I didn't try various ways of exterminating puny humans. I take my life wisdom from Indiana Jones series and it led me to the conclusion that guns make killing definitely easier. And I can PROVE it!
Here's my killer argument:
The important point being "Let's say a psyco wants to kill thirty something students in a classroom".
Without the Psycho the firearm is just a doorstop. When we collectively decided it's societies job to protect everyone from everything ignoring the fact life is & has always been chock full of risks just makes firearms the poster child and emotional appealing target for restrictions.
Britain harshly restricts firearms. The number of assaults with acid skyrocketed. Thankfully it didn't catch on widely in the US. Humans are a violent species. Restricting items isn't going to change that. School shootings, mall shootings, the Las Vegas shooting all were horrific. We already have firearm restrictions they happened anyways.
Unless Humans are deliberately bred to be "docile", or we decide to selectively kill societal deviants as they are found to "protect society(N)" using mass shooter events as reasoning is just another emotional & inflammatory argument.
Take firearms away an kids'll be driving semi's & mining trucks thru schools to again, kill as many as possible or making homemade bombs. When there's a will there's a way.
(n) Give everyone personality tests @ 18, euthanize deviants. Bye bye Wall Street, Politians an most CEO's. This is just a thought exercise, not endorsing it.
