You could just go back through the thread..to see any of the times I've explained the source for that fact, couldn't you? Or should I have to repeat myself endlessly...because that;s been working so well on you thusfar....
If you want to get academic, a bomb will cause more destruction - regardless of the level of skill of the user - and it's even easier, and cheaper, to get a can of gasoline than it is to get a gun. It's a moot point though, since using bombs or guns in the commission of a crime is already illegal, and no one argues that it shouldn't be, or that there shouldn;t be safeguards in place to prevent either, insomuch as we can.
Baseball bat or a gun..I'll take the gun. Stitches are easy, extensive compound fractures aren't. Guns make alot more noise too....someone could beat me to death with a baseball bat in the vicinity of hundreds of people without anyone noticing...but it's a ridiculous question in the first place...as I'd rather not be hit with a bat, or shot. For reference, I've experienced both, so this is coming from a position of -some- knowledge.
No one argued that guns are ineffective, certainly not myself...so why are you asking the question?
What point, again.....am I sticking on? You'd have to have a point to stick on to begin with, which you don't, and haven't..and this is what I've been trying to explain to you. If you want, like I do, to address our gun problem; the first step is to acquire an accurate picture of what that problem is. Otherwise you're tilting at windmills.
Mass shootings? Not our gun problem.
Stolen guns? Not our gun problem.
The existence of guns? Not our gun problem.
Gun ownership? Not our gun problem.
