I think there is a lot of ignorance around guns, firearms, bang sticks, etc. Psychologically, people have a tendency to fear that which they are ignorant of, and you can extrapolate this to the nth degree, but ...........why would you bother.
There is nothing "wrong" with firearms, just the people who abuse them.
Why do we, as a society, work so hard on the preservation of people? Maybe it would be better if we let all of the dickheads wipe themselves out, and yes, some of the good ones might be collateral damage, but don't you think natural selection would be appropriate?
We, people, I mean, have a superiority complex, among other things.
Might as well ban automobiles, baseball bats, scissors.......how stupid, how unintelligent, how unhuman.
In the end, I think it's about civil liberties, and the constant, systematic, relentless erosion of said liberties.
