Yea, let's ban guns!  Bombs work much more efficiently!  No accuracy really 
needed.  Kills victim along with his surroundings.  Looks much more exciting 
when it explodes than a bullet.

Why do I bring up bombs?  Look un Europe where guns are banned.  The next 
weapon of choice is the bomb.  Would the bomb be better?

The logic is so simple.  Money is not evil; it's the person behind the money.
Authority is not evil; it's who is behind the authority.  It's not the gun; 
it's the person behind the gun.  Criminals commit crime.  Law abiding citizens 
do not.

Focus on the criminal, not the gun.  Is killing with a knife more humane?  How 
about some poison?  Maybe run the victim over the next time he goes to the 
store for bread.
