It's still an argument because the people who wish to ban them can't use logic in the argument. Your assertion that guns are used for murder more than anything else shows that.
You could probably get the majority of people on board with background checks, prohibitions for convicted criminals and some kind of licensing. But whenever these things are brought up, they are accompanied by other things that make zero sense in reality like mag restrictions and banning based on looks. That's why you get push back.
People have no problem calling for a gun ban because it might not affect them. But there is no call for a ban on knives, the use of physical force or cars. Why? Because more people use them and they wouldn't want to be inconvenienced. It's much easier to demand something be banned outright when it doesn't affect you.
