Bullets make neater smaller holes, easier to fix/sew up ... ban knives.

How about suicide bombers and airline hijackers? 19 "men" killed 3,000 people on 9/11.

An analysis by Iraq Body Count and co-authors published in 2011 concluded that at least 12,284 civilians were killed in 1,003 suicide bombings in Iraq between 2003 and 2010.

No guns were used in any of those mass murders of over 15,000 people.

Don't forget the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 where, by some estimates, as many as 800,000 people were murdered. The majority of them were hacked to death with machetes. Evil men like unarmed and defenseless victims. It is amazing how staring down the barrel of gun can drive the spirit of murder from the most wicked hearts.
