Outlawing knives should reduce the number of murders more than rifles. If we outlawed hands and feet that would reduce murder more than outlawing rifles. Rifles are scary looking but are not a major factor in murder. Not you, but this is the reason it is a target for much of the country that thinks emotionally rather than logically.
