That's the standard argument. However cars, aerosols and video games etc are not designed specifically to kill.

Guns are.

I don't believe in banning guns anyway. It's waaaaaaay too late in the US. There is no way you could round up all the guns in the country.

Tighter controls on new guns and bullets on the other hand may work, but probably still too easy to get on the black market. Bans don't tend to work, just psh thigs underground and make it harder for the normal punter to buy.

Maybe it's an edcational thing that would stop the population from being so scared of their own people. As someone pointed out in a population of 300 million and 22,000 deaths meanng I should carry a concealed weapon because there is a 0.00733333333% chance I migh be shot dead. Crazy.
