I am not pro gun, but I am not sure how much more you can do to stop bad guys from doing bad things. The guns that are out there now, they are not going anywhere. It would require the GDP of Canada to buy all the illicit guns back.
I like the ammo tax idea. Hard core dudes could make their own, it might be bad news to ranges and skeet shooters. :dunno:

I agree with your other points but damn, do sentences like this drive me absolutely insane. Do we really need to go into the physics of someones ability to potentially avoid being stabbed and someones ability to potentially avoid being shot? They're not even in the same ball park.
Replace "knife" with golf club and "stabbed to death" with "bludgeoned to death" and explain to me how you'll stop that. In fact, I would argue that there are exponentially more household items that are better to kill someone with than a knife. It has no relevance to a gun that can fire projectiles at 1000's of ft/second, possibly in rapid succession.
Using these as arguments against anti-gun people just makes you look like you can't use logic.
