I believe that guns increase violence - CMV

EDIT:  SEE MY COMMENT FOR NEW CMV

There is no easier way to hurt, maim, or kill another human being than with a gun.  When I have brought up "Assault Weapons" bans as a good thing, (not as they are currently written, however, as they have many loopholes and are sometimes written by people who know very little about guns) I have heard the argument made that a knife, bat, or even a ballpoint pen can be an "assault weapon" because they increase the ease of harming another person.  I believe this is a flawed argument because while a bat can smash the skull of someone right next to you, the deadliness of that bat is dependant upon many variables like the strength and skill of the attacker and the attacked.  Unlike a bat, a gun can kill from a mile away, be wielded by a child, and can murder dozens of people in seconds.  I believe that the wide availability of the gun, the most efficient tool ever designed for inflicting violence, has resulted in violence of greater frequency and magnitude among the general population of the United States.

I think the problem is with your thought process.  The ability to kill with a gun is just as dependent on the skill of the person.  I'd like to see you shoot someone from a mile away.  It takes snipers years of training to pull off that feat (let alone a child).  The people most injured by guns are the idiots weilding it without proper practice.  

China just had some stabbing rampage.  More people were stabbed to death on the street than in the past few US "mass shootings".  There are just as many violent crimes/deaths in countries with no gun availability.
