Try dodging a 100kg man armed with 5kg rock. I had to do it once while wandering the streets of a big South American country. If I had a gun I certainly would have not killed the bastard as just waving it should've solved the situation. Instead I had to keep cool, pull a Jedi mind trick, and literally run for my life. Yeah, guns kill. So rocks too.

Again, how do we stop all this killing?

Either way, I think we should start by banning cars. People kill much more people with cars than with any other tool. Maybe except for voting, but that's another matter.
