Personally I would love to see the removal of guns from average Joe society, I don't see a purpose in it, especially with hand guns, I agree with the accidential deaths going down, I would even agree that the over eager home defense nut killings would go down.
The mass killings wouldn't be as spectacular in body count so in a way your right they would reduce. But believe me they would still happen. People have been finding ways to poison each other, stab each other and blugeon each other since the beginning of time.
Not to joke, but if we got rid of guns we might see people taking out their rage on each other in more road runner vs While E Coyote type of methods.
One minute your talking to your neighbour the next your both under a 10 tonne acme weight.

Okay now you're just getting crazy. When was the last time you heard of a truly mass killing that used anything but a firearm or explosive? When has their ever been a mass killing involving Wil-E-Coyote methods?
The whole argument here is that the removal of guns drastically reduces the ability of anyone to perpetrate a mass killing, and I see nothing that counters that besides some fanciful notions of elaborate plans involving cartoons. People will still kill each other, nobody has said otherwise, but without firearms the ability to do so on a mass scale is drastically reduced.
