Ahh, 'leading questions'..."How do I love thee? let me count the ways..."
Surely, you are not being as simplistic as your line of questioning would lead me to believe? However, if you are, then I'm sure you don't need me to answer your banal question of accountability. The availability of the weapon directly results in the accessibility of killing.
More guns = more deaths. Less guns = less deaths. Is that simple enough for you?

I will agree with Arachnoidfreak that our crime rate is as it is because of ignorant mis-use of weapons in general. Human beings throughout history fought and killed millions of thousands of people for thousands of years without guns. What's the problem now? Are we trying to deny our caveman emmotions that we very well still carry with us, the very thing that makes us humans in the first place? It's obvious to me here that probably not even half of us who visit these forums have ever been shot, stabbed, or even took a good ass whoppin. Whether you want to believe it or not, that is the basis of human nature. We are animals.
Don't be stupid. You know that it takes a human being to pull a trigger as well as it takes a human being to throw a knife. If you cannont see that the actions of a man shooting another man with a gun was not done by a human's ability to do so, then you are obviously blind by some apparent luxury sugar coat on life.

Oh dear, it would appear you are as simplistic as I feared.
Oh, dear! Another one! What is the purpose of a gun other than to kill or maim? What are the purposes of a knife?
(Hint: Notice the pluralisation of 'purpose' when applied to a knife)

All you've done was show me a stick figure shooting/killing another stick figure, nothing more. The figures on the right... I have no idea. Maybe they're playing cowboys and indians.

So what exactly are you attemtping to depcit there Bardock42? The first picture is what 2 people in a fast draw contest? The second picture is 2 dumbass's what are you attempting to show other then your quality art?
"Oh, dear! Another one! What is the purpose of a gun other than to kill or maim? What are the purposes of a knife?"
A blade over 4 inch's, what does the general public need with a knife larger then that?
Yeah, that's me. I'm the one trying to argue against guns facilitating the killing of people...
