I understand "around here" isn't necessarily like the rest of the country, but why are most bank robberies around you without a gun, while (according to the stat you gave me earlier) 0.7% of bank robbers were unarmed?

Do they use knives, or bombs, or crossbows where you are?

Or are you defining things like bank fraud, and tellers who take small amounts of cash to be "bank robbery"? The later technically is, but its not what most people think of when they think of the term. Neither is something that gun control would address in any way.

But assuming that all those robberies really are without guns, than why do you say that making guns illegal would cut down on bank robberies?
