We need to ban all axes!!!!

That'll solve the issue

I really don't get how this argument gets brought up any time there is an attack with anything besides a gun.  Nobody is saying that banning guns will end all violence.  What people are saying is that if this guy could have bought a semi-automatic weapon without a background check at a gun show and could have purchased a 300 round magazine (illegal in Germany), then instead of 3 serious injuries, we'd probably have 20-30 people dead. 

Yeah if anything this incident is a pro for gun control, if this guy had a gun he would've killed probably 3-4x as many people, but he had to use an axe probably because he could not get easy access to a fire arm.
