And another version of a gun is a tool.

Americans has shown that en masses they are incapable of safely owning guns. Every 5-6 weeks as many Americans die at the end of a gun as died on 9/11. If the same was true of knives then people would demand knife control. If it was true of cheese, cheese would have been outlawed years ago.

Not all tools are created equal and some tools should be outlawed - or at least stringently regulated - even if they have legitimate uses. Which handguns do not.
