How to best deal with mentally unstable individuals is a debate in his own and I am not pretending to give a solution to that problem.
All I am saying is that it's not a rationally sound argument to rebut gun control by pointing out that you can also kill someone with a car, knife, chair or whatever object you can come up with. The fact is: put yourself in the shoes of someone that is targeted by an individual who wants to commit mass murder, would you rather him to come at you with a gun or some other object ? I think the answer is pretty obvious to anyone.
Again, this doesn't mean that gun control is the solution to unstable individuals, only that you can't rebut the gun control position by simply saying: "Hey, a knife can kill people too." It makes for a nice sounding comeback, it's easy to say, it's catchy, but there's no solid rational foundation to it.
