I'm pretty sure the reason they want to ban guns is it's way to easy for dumbfks, which the USA seems to have no shortage of to kill a lot of people in a short period of time.
Sure they're just a tool, but a kid with a kitchen knife isn't gonna do near the same about of damage as the same kid with a gun.
Sure you argue, criminals will still have guns, but the vast majority of mass shootings aren't done by career criminals. Like drug dealers and gang members, but the average person next door.
For the self proclaimed greatest country in the world with freedom and democracy, you sure are paranoid of your elected government!
