Guns just make it too easy to kill, and they often end up in the wrong hands. Either in kids hands, or criminals hands.
A person may resort to a knife, and yeah, they'll probably find a single target they want. But you wont get mall shootings, club shootings, school shootings, freeway shootings, etc. You won't have multiple deaths (or at least at the same level a shooter can affect mayham)
Regarding the post above, the last argument about Good Samaritan types being armed is just absurd. There's no evidence that people being armed will make them more likely to act or being unarmed makes a person less likely to act. Not only is there no evidence, the argument doesn't make a lot of logical sense either.
