As was pointed out earlier in the thread, if guns are no more easy or convenient to use as a murder weapon, why are they the preferred choice...
Yes, it's possible to kill someone by stuff marbles up their nostrils until it reaches the brain. But it's not easy, it's not convenient and something that can be done cleanly from a distance with that few newtons of force on the trigger. It makes a big difference having the nerve to repeatedly bludgeon someone with a bat while they're screaming rather than to simply pull the trigger.
