Couple of hot educational tidbits:

- People "need" guns the way that people "need" cigarettes, booze, football, and lingerie. It's a hobby.

- Legal guns are expensive ($500+ for anything worthwhile) and require a rather annoying and thorough registration process and background check unless you consider person to person sales, which are considered a "huge loophole" by jihading anti-gun clerics. I'll leave out illegal activities such as theft and the black market because those engaging in illegal activities are already more dangerous than any normal person with a firearm. Reality: Guns are inanimate objects. People operate them.

- If someone intelligent was planning a murder, they probably wouldn't use a gun unless absolutely necessary. You can kill somebody with $2 steak knife just as easily and for a heckuva lot cheaper if you're motivated and inclined to do such.
