Because the ownership of deadly weapons should not be a right. If it's a cultural matter, then it needs to be weeded out of our culture.


Anything can be a "deadly weapon" if someone is motivated ...

The motivation, not the tool, leads to violence. If we lived in a happy magic land where you could ban guns the violence would still be there, but people would use knives, baseball bats, and any other weapon they could fashion.

Beyond that, how are you ever going to prevent people from owning weapons when we not have affordable technologies that allow people to "print" assault rifles?

Gun control is as outdated today as trying to prevent music theft by preventing people from shoplifting at HMV.

That is a good point actually.   Pretty much anybody could make their own Assault Rifle in their garage with some fairly common tools.
