Pretty much everything humans invent have a reason, light bulbs give light, shovels dig holes, playing cards to offer an alternative game, but guns either kill, or the threat to kill, which gives protection(what keeps someone from shooting you when you have a gun to their face?), there is a diference to what the tool was made for and what it can be used for.
With a knife or similar, how many do you think a pycho can kill before someone stops him? Is it the same for guns? Do you think that if that boy Cho had a knife her would have killed 33? Or is it diferent with a gun?

Exactly, there would probably have to be a government entity that would police this, probably hire thousands of people and cost millions if not billions of dollars? And that's just for guns?

What's your opinion of cigarette's?
Just about every thing that is human invented regardless of why it was designed can be used to kill. None of these items have thoughts of murder. A catalyst is needed, that catalyst in civilization usually means it is at the hands of a human. Your emphasis is that a gun is designed to kill, but that is specific to human nature. It only means killing to us. It means being killed to everything else. As we have both agreed, it is just a tool. A tool designed by a people who have an insatiable desire to kill. You fault the gun, i fault the user.

Cho had a couple of guns so lets say my guy has a sword and a knife. If he chained the doors like they said, being similarly unarmed it would be close to the same result. I've seen plenty a sword that would go through a door.

What's the difference between what cho did and the Oklahoma bombings? Should fertilizer come with a pic from a victim of mass murder?

I've seen a guys kill about a thousand men women and children with koolaid. Oh and a Senator and a news crew too. I've seen co-ordinated fanatics kill three thousand people ramming planes into buildings. And before too long i suppose i'll see some one detonate a dirty bomb in some major city of a Western country, so no a gun is no different.
