So, you tell us...which is actually deadlier?
What I think personally? I think that all guns should be destroyed.
Each and every one is a weapon of murder. Shooting holes in cans serves no practical purpose. Knives can be used for cooking et al. (practical purposes) and cars can be used to get from point A to point B, also practical purposes.
But that's my line of thinking, perhaps not yours. Let's use yours instead. How about we use the favourite amongst gun lovers:
"It's not the gun that kills .... it's the person using it." There is some obvious logic to that, we MUST agree, right? Well, if it's the person holding the gun that kills then I suggest that citizens ought to be allowed to own fire arms in every country in the Western World except for the US. I mean, just look at how many Americans are murdering one another with fire arms!
