The Gun Fight in Washington. Your opinons?

Other tools may be less effective than a gun, but they are still effective enough that someone bent on murder can easily kill with them.

Less effective tools don't kill as often simply because they are less effective.

Nonsense home make explosives even simple pipe bombs have a history of killing many more people then any single firearm attacker had done and even simple gasoline attacked had killed 87 people in NYC.

Or far far more if they turn to explosives to do mass killings.

explosives are not readily available in a form that can be picked up and used by anyone.

They just can't kill as easily as with a gun.

Nor is the attempt as likely to be successful.

Sure.... just keep telling yourself that Bill if it makes you feel better. Reality is different however. Explosives are not readily available in a form that can be picked up and used by anyone.

You don't find too many instances of 2-4 year olds accidentally bombing someone but many instances of them accidentally shooting someone.

and even in gun free England six young men created bombs to killed their fellow citizens.

Oops, no, you weren't, since you explicitly wrote England.
May I ask to what incident you are referring?

England and Wales you can't legally create bombs to kill someone,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombings

The 7 July 2005 London bombings (often referred to as 7/7) were a series of co-ordinated suicide attacks in London which targeted civilians using the public transport system during the morning rush hour.
On the morning of Thursday, 7 July 2005, four Islamist home-grown terrorists detonated four bombs, three in quick succession aboard London Underground trains across the city and, later, a fourth on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square. Fifty-two civilians and the four bombers were killed in the attacks, and over 700 more were injured.
The explosions were caused by homemade organic peroxide–based devices packed into rucksacks. The bombings were followed exactly two weeks later by a series of attempted attacks.

If you feel I've made an error in civics, what do you believe that error is?

You kidding me you did not hear in the news of the four young men in the city of London who blow themselves and a great deal of others up in the tubes and on the buses only a few years ago? That would be big news in the EU or at least you would think so.
