>>>>>>The other thing that they constantly repeat is that if not a gun would be killers would use a knife with the same result, but everyone is silent about the Texas knife spree, where the guy tried to kill "en mass" but he was only able to injure 14, 2 critical. Yep, exactly the same if they guy had tried with guns, eh?

>>>>In this case yes - but what Hugo was pointing out is that people claim that these mass-shooter guys would just use a knife instead - so why worry about them getting a gun if they'll just get a knife instead? I think we can all agree that a wacko with a gun is far more dangerous that an wacko with knife. As matter of fact ANYONE with a gun is more dangerous that anyone with a knife. Hey - if that 4 year old couldn't of got a gun to shoot his aunt by mistake - he just would of grabbed a knife and stabbed her by mistake instead.

>>>I think most people would agree firearms are more dangerous than knives. Anyone arguing the opposite would be, well, bringing a knife to a gunfight :-{

>>Correct - which is why, as Hugo pointed out, that it's so astonishing that some gun 'experts' seem to think this.

>Yes. We should all disarm and bend over. The gub-mint will see to it that we are not harmed.

I've never said anything about taking everyone's guns away. I'm just saying there should be a database of all the guns, their ballistics, and who owns the gun - plus universal background checks for EVERY gun transaction. What's the big deal? We have the same thing for automobiles don't we?
There is simply no logical reason not to have the database other than it will put a dent in the profits of the gun manufactures, upset people who make money selling guns at gun shows to whoever has a few bucks, and piss off the 1% of crooked gun shops and dealers.

If you weight the pro's vs con's here I don't see how any other conclusion makes sense.
