People are allowed to have guns in the USA, so why wouldn't guns be the weapon of choice for the small number of people inclined to murder ?
BUT
If no gun is available, a person who is angry and out of control enough to kill...will do it with whatever is available.
I seem to always be arguing with you Lidwen but you missed a main point. It takes much less effort to kill someone with a gun and it happens so fast. Axes or knife or bats are used usually by people who are far gone from sanity. Many gun killings are accidents however ax, knifes murders are rarely accidently because it usually takes more than one stab to get the job done.
As I leave you with restless liars and dealers on the take
