Default Guns are not the problem.

Violent Idiots are.

Should we ban all knives, bats, feet, fists, heads, hammers, nails, axes, ice picks, and poisons?

Or maybe we could just allow people to protect themselves.

You've heard the Rosie O'Donnell argument, right?

The problem is that if that guy had a gun, he could have killed ten times the number of people that he did.

I've heard spoons, but I don't think the utensil affects it that much. She's still fat, whether she used forks or bulldozers.

No the problem was none of the victims were armed, so they could not defend themselves. None of the bystanders had a defensive mindset and were not armed, so they could not defend their fellow man.

Japan banned firearms a long time ago, yet this type of thing continues to happen.

We do not have a gun problem people. We have a violence problem. Banning tools will not solve the problem.

Hmm... I don't agree with you there. If everyone carried a gun all the time, I could see regular disputes and arguments occasionally becoming something more violent.

I like Chris Rock's solution to gun control. Having $5,000 bullets.

We do not have a gun problem people. We have a violence problem. Banning tools will not solve the problem.
Murder rates vary greatly among countries and societies around the world. In the Western world, murder rates in most countries have declined significantly during the 20th century and are now between 1-4 cases per 100,000 people per year. Murder rates in Japan, Ireland and Iceland are among the lowest in the world, around 0.5; the rate of the United States is among the highest of developed countries, around 5.5 in 2004,[13] with rates in larger cities sometimes over 40 per 100,000.[14]
