Remove -or, excessively control - guns and you merely remove the 'technique' the crackpot uses to murder. The crackpot will just find another technique such as the home made bomb. Then, you would have to ban the sales or, excessively control, such simple products as hydrogen peroxide, one of the easily-accessible, household products essential for the home-made explosive device.

@EugenieLaBorgia That's not true. Statistics from countries that don't allow general ownership of guns show they have far lower murder rates.
@fazer1k You have not heard then of the massacres in my city of Paris in France?? We have strict gun control!
We won’t mention the sudden rise in lunatics mowing down groups of ppl in cars ... shush.. 🇦🇺

@EugenieLaBorgia Yes, and that is tragic. But how does your overall murder rate compare to America? The stats don't lie.
If we really cared about saving lives we’d start with banning cheeseburgers
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout 86 people killed and over 400 injured in the Nice lorry attack!!

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The difference there is that lorries have a practical use and are needed in society so banning isn't a sensible option. Gun were created to kill and have no practical use, for most, in a civilised society.

I just bought me a nice set of assault golf clubs.. 😁👍
@fazer1k Look, how many maniacs are mentioned in the statistics. It's about maniacs not guns. Maniacs will use anything. Statistics, such as those, relate the murders to a specific technique. Remove that particular technique and give maniacs a new technique, the statistics, then, would refer to the new technique. The statistics system concerning guns will only be valid when comparing them to the future statistics using the new technique.

@fazer1k the statistics of bad guys killing bad guys stayed the same. But the politicians crow about the lower gun death stats 👍.

@fazer1k Hydrogen peroxide is needed in society - a chief ingredient in home-made explosive devices.

@EugenieLaBorgia The statistics show that the vast majority of murders in America are the result of using guns. How about American schools? The weapons of choice always seem to be guns.
