36. Does it really matter what weapon people are murdered with?
That's what I don't understand. Guns are just a tool. If you restrict them, people intent on doing harm will simply use other weapons.

If you aren't actually lowering the overall murder rate by reducing the number of guns available in a given society, what's the point (besides pissing lawful gun owners off, who show it at the polls)?
