I don&#x27;t think anyone claims that reducing guns would eliminate violence. That is a strawman.<p>There does seem to be reasonable evidence from other countries that reduced accessed to guns (and certain types of guns in particular) does have an impact.<p>Guns just make it ridiculously easy to kill a lot of people in a hurry. It takes a lot more strength and determination to plunge a knife into someone (perhaps several times) when compared to pulling a trigger.
