first of all I'm not suggesting we get rid of all guns but you can't possibly be serious in your question
there is NO DOUBT that if all the same attacks happened but the person didn't have a gun but a knife, or ax or baseball bat that there would be MANY LESS FATALITIES
just pretend the nut job in Aurora, Arizona or Connecticut did not have a gun and tell me you think the same number of people would have died
Take your time and think about if for as long as you need before you respond
goodness gracious, FIRST youre assuming that they wouldnt be able to get their hands on a gun even if there was a ban...Making it illegal to own guns doesnt stop a number of felons so why would it stop ppl who want to massacre alot of ppl?
SECOND, do you not think they wouldnt have altered their plans if they didnt have a gun?
You really think they would have conducted the same style of attacks at the same locations with a knife?
ORRRRR
do you think they would have thought about the way they could kill the most ppl and do that?
