I agree some people will always have violent tendencies but "other weapons" are far less lethal than guns. That's why other industrialised countries suffer only a fraction of the homicides that America does.

It's interesting that gun nuts don't take the same attitude with other areas of behaviour, for example

"if abortion were made illegal people are still going to get abortions so why bother"

or

" speed limits don't stop people from speeding so let's just abolish speed limits"
