the only gun control that should exist is a total control ban. Soldiers and police man should be the only ones with access to guns, period.

I don't want my child going to a school where the teacher and principal are armed.

Yes people kill people, and the gun are only the tool. You can't predict when another crazy person decides to kill again, but you can restrict his access to the tool.



Are you okay with a teacher or principal using the saws in wood shop? Or a fire extinguisher in home ecs class? How about them using scissors and that giant knife thing that cuts a bunch of paper at once in a straight line.

if you can point to me the massacres that were done with saws, scissors, giant knifes, and paper cutter then ill worry, but until then gun are best tool for the job, thus they should be taken away.

Well for one.

Granted, less effective then guns.  However actually, it's easier to kill someone with a knife then a gun.  Just harder to kill multiple people.


By banning guns, chances are homicide rates would go up, as more people would die from homicide attempts and just plane assaults that end in homicide, that would far offset the difference in prevented mass killings.
