31. Wrong.

That's only true if you are arguing on a complete ban on gun possession, something that has no chance of passing in Congress and something SCOTUS has already struck down.

Even so, you are wrong in your assumption. A lot of guns are not designed with humans in mind. .22-250 rifles are exclusively for long range, small animal hunting/pest control. An Olympic target .22 is exclusively for Olympic-style target shooting. A .22 pistol has a few uses, but it was not designed for killing people--in fact it would be difficult to do so with one.
