Having a gun makes it easier to kill someone. Period. If I'm intent on killing my high school gym teacher because he made a crack about my short-shorts in front of the whole class 15 years ago, and I have a gun, I can just go knock on his door and shoot the guy.
If I don't have a gun but I have a bat or a knife of a short length of rope, that prick Mr. Johnston is probably going to survive our encounter and maybe even get me locked up.

So who should we blame? The gun, or you for being an idiot and wanting to kill someone?
If Mr. Johnson had a gun, and knew how to defend himself, you wouldn't get far...even WITH a gun.
And you still haven't explained why any law-abiding citizen shouldn't own a gun because so idiot goes and kills someone else with the handgun he got for the surplus store the week before. I didn't break the law. You did.
