Being that it is far easier to obtain an illegal firearm than a legal one,
how do you come to such a conclusion. It is well known that you can obtain a
black market firearm for less agravation and time (and possibly less money),
than participating in the system.
Being as burning to death, being beaten to death, ... to death, means being
just as dead as being shot to death, how do you come to the conclusion that
any other means would be less effective?

People happen to like using vehicles, swimming pools, gasoline, power tools,
cleaning products, and other lethal weapons. And as with firearms, most
people
use them responsibly.
Of course, we also know that telling someone "no" usually has the opposite
effect, so it is highly unlikely that banning these things will make them go
away.
