To take it further...
Political arguments aside, I don't see how anyone can deny that in countries with easy access to firearms there are more murders and more suicides.
It is not even true to say that if there was not a gun the murder would certainly have happened because the kid could have used a knife or a brick.
In every case I have ever read about, making guns harder to access leads to a fall in the total number of deaths : by accident, by murder and by suicide.

you think that kids have never heard of knives or bricks? baseball bats? screwdrivers? you discredit your own argument by even intimating that this kid, or any kid, would NEVER kill another unless they had a gun.
