And you can't accidentally knife a passer-by 50 yards away with a knife (or a swimming pool).

And a knife won't pass through a window or wall to accidentally kill a child sleeping in their bed.

Well, if we're going down that road, a battle axe would be my weapon of choice!

I could only accept the outlaw of guns if; as I've said before, there was such a gun that could load itself, aim itself, and discharge itself. To the best of my knowledge, such a gun does not yet exist. I would be all for banning it if it did exist.
While you don't accept the argument of the swimming pools; substitute auto mobiles here. What is the ratio between automobile-related deaths to gun-related deaths? Would you support banning all automobiles? I'm pretty sure that they far outnumber guns as far as deaths are concerned.

Again, this is a specious argument and completely invalid.

You know perfectly well that cars are not designed with the sole purpose of killing.

I'm not saying we can eliminate all risks of death in our daily lives but some are a lot more avoidable than others.
