We're a species who has based a large chunk of science on better ways to kill people.
I don't buy the argument that taking away the gun will reduce deaths. It will merely redirect the way that we kill.
Murders would still happen, people going nuts and killing in numbers would still happen.
The human being is a killer covered in a velvet glove.

The argument against this can be found in this actual incident. When the attacker had a gun and bullets, people died. When he ran out of bullets, there were survivors. He had the intent, but ran out of the means. That's why those kids survived. We're just looking for even less people to have the "means", that's all. If some responsible gun owners get caught in the cross hairs, that's unfortunate, but the bad apples are the ones to blame not us, (obviously grenades are no good too).
