You do realize that lethal weapons can be obtained quite easily, without needing an object that shoot bullets do you?
It's quite possible to use items that you buy in your local gardening store, grocery store, and a third store to create a substance or bomb with the
power to kill people with ''relative'' ease.
In any case, I wouldn't care much about Gun control, though my "perfect world" idea would be to make a government only allow gun sales to those
that are qualified (by taking a special test or whatever + background check, not based on weapon knowledge, but more about other stuff).
Though if I (that lives in a country in which *everything* is forbidden, from knives to pepperspray, However, sports articles are legal (baseball bat)
and so are swords (wtf? legal swords but nay to daggers, oh well)) have to, i'll just create some ''makeshift rockets'' or explosives +
launchers.
And guaranteed that they will be just as, if not more, deadly than a gun with a bullet.
A long story made short:
You guys are over-estimating the power of the pistol compared to other easier to obtain ''weaponry''.
