some of the earliest human remains ever found had bits of stone and wood fragments in the bones indicating that they were killed/injured by early types of weapons... humans have been killing each other since day one.

We can strive for better. I don't want my kid gunned down during class. Hobbies << Life.

I think major problem with guns is that they enable you to kill LOT of ppl, this is not to say ppl will not kill each other without guns. In little comical way its like ordinary human suddenly wearing Iron man equipment and having no control over it.

There was just incident in my country where in local temple offering food which is given to every person who visits temple was poisoned by some guy from different religion. (I'll be little politically correct here and not take name of the religion but you get the point)

People are capable of lot of horrible things, no doubt they will do it without the guns also but guns just make it really really easy, just like poison and it should be restricted if not banned completely just like poisons.

We are what we are, and we should strive for better. Yeah we used to beat each others' brains in. Despite technological advances, we still do it, just more efficiently. Gotta know where you've been to know where you're going. There is an underlying problem that needs to be addressed, but nobody wants or knows how to go there yet. Banning guns, or knives, or rocks and sticks is not going to solve it.

OK I'm out

Once heard this story: deranged, unhappy misfit teenager walks into a school with a rock in his hand...Well, we know how the rest goes, I think.

Well rocks are now primitive. Just like in the near future guns will be. Yes soon to be antiques, replaced by the all new technology that will be printed with your 3d printer and a few chemicals, parts, etc.... I will then have to listen to my liberal friends cry that those too must be banned!

It's the person, not the weapon.

Well that's the million dollar question. US has more guns, and more gun deaths than any other country in the world! Your statement implies that they are unrelated! I think the majority of the WORLD would strongly disagree with you.

Given right circumstances, everyone is/can be that person.

I wont go as far as to quote studies as there are enough funded by right wingers to put "study" vs honest "researched and presented study" on table, after all its a big industry with lot of money to go around in couple of study production machines. Its little out of scope of this forum settings and my expertise to do so.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/gun-deaths-by-country/

BUT these death numbers are telling a story by themselves, unless someone truly believes that rest of the world like Asian countries are much more civilized in terms of "violent tendencies" even in catalytic violent inducive environment, now is it?
Hint: Far from it, one of the many wrong racially associated traits based on small and select sample size. Its a quite a wild wild east here, I can attest on personal experience that on an average "probably" first world population is much more docile than what you see in third world altercations.

So how to deal with the problem?
Its just lot more easier and sensible to cut off supply rather than putting everyone in therapy. And latter is not even option in majority of the world. I'm not really liberal, but I do think there is something called value of life lost, it far exceeds value of guns to society.

As for the 3D printer possible epidemic, liberals will eventually get there too, just need to take one little good step at a time, starting with guns.

Just food for thought, if it was just "person" that was an issue, there wont be legal prohibitions on ammunition type even in wild wild west.
https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/blotter/2016/09/bullet-control-what-types-of-ammunition-are-illegal.html

Clearly, someone somewhere in right side also thinks it causes more deaths and much more violent ones then otherwise, so why stop there and not cut the entire rotten tree?
