Guns are quicker, easier to use, and a killer may be on a temper tantrum or suffering a long held psychotic or sociopathic episode. Guns are a curse in this country. Other countries may have nuts but ours have guns.

The problem is not the guns. The problem is the individuals that are committing these horrendous acts of violence. Without access to guns these individuals would instead use something else to inflict death and injury. Banning guns or restricting access to guns will not change this. So what needs to be done to address what is causing these people to be so violent in the first place. If all you do is take away the guns than you leave these clearly disturbed and / or mentally ill persons to continue to suffer.
