Cutlery is even more readily available than guns!
Birthday cake stabbing!

True enough. Knives are 5 times more likely than a gun to be used as the murder weapon. But the Ammophobics will say you cannot do a mass murder with a knife, which is also true. That's why they make rental vans and pressure cookers.

And yes to a short-medium term plan to lower the presence of guns.
And a world without nuclear weapons would be awesome too! How do you think the world would look today if the USA had unilaterally disarmed itself during the Cold War? I'll tell you. We'd be waiting in 2 hour lines to buy potatoes. Unilaterally disarming the law abiding populace leaves them vulnerable. Remember, when seconds count the police are only minutes away. Ask any liquor store owner.
And if the pinko leftists on AF really truly believed that Trump was ushering in a new era of fascism they sure as hell wouldn't want to the Trump regime to be the only people with guns.
