By and large, guns do a better job than most others, but even without guns, you still see knife attacks (usually with dramatically lower casualty counts), vehicle attacks (which can be comparable), and bombings (which can be comparable). On top of that, banning guns altogether creates other issues, not least of which is the fact that there are a lot of guns in the US and you'd inevitably end up with a whole lot of non-law-abiding people making things very dangerous for those that gave theirs up. I would much rather have a guy going crazy with a knife trying to kill people than an assault rifle. It's far easier to get distance from that guy and he has to usually spend more time killing each person, firing 50 rounds into a crowd usually does a lot more damage faster then even the most expert knife wielder on Earth. The NRA is fucking stupid, they act like well it would just happen with other things when those things are far less efficient at killing people. No one has a problem with the Government restricting people owning a fully operational tank but once we start talking about banning assault rifles or making them harder to get watch out. ...
