more people are murdered with weapons other than guns in the US each year.

true guns are typically more leathal, but are much harder to hit you target than you think. knives while usually less lethal are much easier to cause injury.

How do you define lethal? Because over memorial day weekend in Chicago there were 40 shootings (that were reported) and 10 deaths. Guns are faily ineffective unless up close. But that's what people use them. Get rid of guns there will just be more stabbings because they'll be forced to get up close. However, I bet a higher percent will die from wounds

i dont disagree. the majority of gun shot wounds are non lethal. i was making a guess (perhaps an uneducated guess) that gun crimes are more lethal than knife crimes.

but you are right that guns in the hands of criminals arent highly likely to kill you. but i wont take that chance, which is why im armed at all times.

and if guns kill, all of my guns must be broken. they havent killed anybody.

I mean, if your close enough to get a kill shot then yeah they are more lethal but the point of a gun is to not get that close. If I were to guess how many rounds were fired to kill as many as gun shots have this year compared to how swings with a knife to kill the people dead from stabs I'd guess the mortality rate to be a lot lower for guns.
