you can kill someone with your bare hands at a whim, a sane society should perfectly be able to own whatever they want and use it responsibly. Do you want to ban water because we can drown in it?

You might want to re-read what he said earlier:

Case 1 - Give a psychopath a knife/sharp object and see how many people he could kill before being apprehended.
Case 2 - Now give him a gun (any lethal gun would do) and see how many people he could kill.

When you respond ''do you want to ban water because we can drown in it?'', you are missing the point of his argument and using faulty logic.

Did I reply to his earlier comments or just this one? This person in fact has 141 posts on this forum, I replied to one of them, if you enjoyed his earlier posts that is fine but those are not reflected in what I replied to.

Besides your 2 cases are rather weak here, you suggest that if I was mental enough I couldn't go into a local school / hospital / store where there would be no one prepared for any sort of attack and not kill more people with a knife than a round of bullets for most guns would hold? I assure you in the wrong hands any weapon will kill a lot of people. What is needed is a lot more reportability from people who deal with those who are mentally unwell, right now in Ireland there is a lot of cases where husbands have killed their familys and during investigations it's turned out that they had confessed desires to do that to their doctors / psychiachchrist in confidence.

Only thing sadder than hearing about children being murdered is to find out that it could have been avoided if people were aware of what was known about a persons mental health.

Thinking more about the case in point btw, he used a car to kill one of six of the people, you can't try to impose car control based on this one case tho.
