Well, use of guns makes it easier to commit murder(techically, not morally), or multiple murders. It is a bit harder to do it with knife, and takes more energy too.
The arguments about how making guns illegal only makes good and righteous citizen vunerable is a bit far-fetched. we all know that almost every human being can be driven to the state of temporary madness(pressure, stress and so on), where his acts aren't rational, and with a gun it's easier to make more mess in that state. Not to mention the percentage of population which aren't mentally very stable. Making gun available to those ppl can't grant good and righteous citizens safety, even if they have a whole arsenal of AK47's.
