People will kill people whether they're using a semi auto 223, a tea spoon, a sharpened tooth brush or just their bare hands nothing can change that.

Preaching to the converted BH

The argument is way too one dimensional though...

On the flip side you can't argue that a semi auto rifle is not a more effective weapon than a baseball bat. Some of the gun nut fraternity love hauling out the tired old argument that vehicles kill more people envy year. Same argument applies, it is the nut behind the steering wheel.

And last time I checked, soldiers all over the were still being issued with semi auto rifles with high cap mags (not baseball bats or vw beetles), quite simply because it is the most effective individual weapon system the human race has come up with so far... Which would you rather face, a nutcase armed with a flintlock or a nutcase armed with an AR and a couple of high cap mags ?
