You don't need a gun to kill. Yes, it is true that about a third of the intentional homicides in the United States are done using some some type of gun. It is also true that about the same number are killed unintentionally by drunk drivers. You have just about the same chance of being beat and kicked to death than you do by being murdered by a rifle or shotgun.
You remember - on
9/11/01 2,996 people were killed by Kamikaze pilots. James Jones
killed 914 using poisoned Kool Aid. Theodore Kaczynski and Timothy
McVeigh killed using explosives. Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy
used knifes. Ted Bundy simply hit his victims with blunt instruments. Charles Manson and his "family" did not use guns. What about the anthrax attacts?
