Anyone who thinks that guns force people to kill people are seriously delusional. Obviously the more guns in a country the more gun deaths, just like the more cars you have the more car accidents. Hey, I bet that there are a hell of a lot more bike accidents in Holland than there are in the States, does that mean we should ban bikes from your country?

If you don't own a gun, you won't flip out and start shooting people. Just because you can't.
Guns are a very effective means of killing people. That means that if people freak out, berserk, go psycho, want revenge, go on a killing spree or simply aren't taking it anymore, guns will greatly increase the damage they can and will do.
Guns don't drive people to kill, but they help people who are trying to kill.
