You totally missed every point I made and replied with, no they're not rather than offering any evidence. Show me that the majority are pushing to ban all guns 100%. Straw purchases are already illegal but unenforced, can't do much when cops refuse to do their job. I didn't say people don't die from knives, but a stab isn't going to kill a random person on the street accidentally like a stray bullet. And there's a huge difference between a knife wound and a bullet wound that makes it much easier to treat. And the knife doesn't break apart, shredding nearby organs, rarely breaks larger bones, or in the case of supersonic rounds from the mentioned weapons of war, cause compression shockwaves that pulverize organs. If you haven't spent time in combat or an ER or around gunshot wounds, you have no idea. I've seen organ soup after a close range stomach wound from a high powered rifle. And I don't care that handguns are the most common. They're also the most commonly used for defense. It's the high powered ruffles that liquify your organs when used in drive-by shootings that have no reason to be in the hands of civilians in the first place.

If you're going to argue for a cause, then at least know what the people on the other side are saying. Quit making up straw men and arguing slippery slope nonsense.
