Guns don't kill people.
People kill people.

People with guns are better at killing people than people without guns.

People have been killing people long before the invention of guns. taking away guns won't stop that.

Besides, it's normally the bullets that do the dirty work. A gun on it's own might make a good club though.

pieces of srtring and cutlery can also be used to kill people.

Should those be banned too?

Guns provide a point and click interface for ending the life of another human being. It's much easier to kill someone with a gun (with bullets (the right kind of bullets)) than with a fork.

it's also a lot easier to get your hands on a fork than it is to get a gun though
