> Obviously if guns are truly banned, there will be no gun crime. There will still however be knife crime, fist crime, car crime, etc. The gun is greatest weapon of destruction a regular citizen can have, is allowed to carry and buy. Knifes needs physical proximity to use. |

A firearm is the most effective defensive weapon a person can have, surely - but not even close to the most destructive.
If someone’s goal is indiscriminate destruction, an automobile is much more effective. Explosive, incendiaries, or even poisons would be all cause more destruction than a firearm.
Handguns in particular are relatively ineffective as weapons go. A knife attack is more likely to result in the death of the victim than a handgun. The reason handguns are carried more than knives for defense is that knives typically kill through blood loss while firearms do so through immediate physical trauma.
