"People with cars kill people, people with knives kill people, people with homemade bombs kill people, people with fists kill people,.."

except for 'homemade bombs', Mick, those are not valid comparisons...and homemade bombs are not that common or easy....or 'fun'.

Cars & knives and fists all have everyday, legitimate uses. Guns are made to shoot things. VERY few people have the need to shoot something daily. Knives are indeed deadly...but if the guy had been using a knife, he would likely have been subdued - and one can run from a knife...or hold up a book...etc...

Cars? Aww...c'mon! Bricks next?

I DO understand the arguments of those who enjoy guns for peaceful purposes...and *IF* you can figure out a way to confine them to persons who can be trusted, I'll shut up....

Sadly, as I have said, I do not know how to either limits guns to sane people, or to remove guns if the law were changed....we have gone so far down this path that I despair.
