Guns don't kill people, Swords Kill People

Weapon control is one of the paradoxes or is it paradoxen (actually a paradoxen is when you have two weiner dogs... so punny) like smoking bans where philosophically I think government imposed controls are wrong, but as a person, I am glad that I can go to a bar and not have to shower that night to get the smell out of my hair or when someone gets crazy they at least have to get passed a background check and can't buy automatic rocket launchers. I know I am being naive to think that background checks work and there is not a black market for weapons, but every layer we can add to increase the degree of difficulty helps.
