If I could get the NRA out of service I would consider that a public service.

When anyone talks about other types of violence existing, so what? Most violence that is not gun related does not end up in DEATH. Better economics for more would reduce all types of violence including gun deaths.

Please tell us all what you DO say. 

"It's not the guns it's the user?" Is that it?

Because if that is your response I agree. It is the ATTITUDE of the user about the object and ignoring that "just because" does not mean you know what you are doing. 

If I misunderstood you, please explain. But in my prior post it did read to me like you were saying "other bad shit happens" which does not address reduction of gun deaths.
