I just went searching for teenagers who might have murdered their families with other weapons- know what I found? None. I wonder why. Could it be that to pull a trigger is a lot less "real" than carving someone up with a knife or chopping someone up with an axe? That's what I think. People are still fascinated with Lizzy Borden- who MIGHT have chopped her parents up. Find me the cases Ground Zero- because I just found a bunch of gun cases, involving shootings of parents. But I found no axings- so why aren't the kids without guns killing their parents??? Hmmm. Let's hear a good reason. If you don't think it isn't easier to shoot someone than to butcher them, then you have either never skinned and cut up an animal, or you've no imagination. Who knows which? Why do people WANT guns? Because they are easy to use and good for killing. If axes were so great everyone would want axes. There would be concealed axe permits. Policemen would be clamoring for axes. But axes aren't so great for killing. Sorry to burst your bubble. I'm sure you really thought it was a great argument you had there- and I can tell you convinced yourself.
