A statistic worth mentioning is that suicide by gun is very effective.
People who try to kill themselves by taking a (legal) drug overdose succeed 2% of the time.
People who try to kill themselves using a gun "succeed" (if that's the word I want) 80% of the time.
Much less chance for reconsideration.

Guns are simply too lethal to allow general population to own them. Same category as dynamite or howitzer or tank, forget nuclear weapon.
You can't do a drive-by with knives (unless you are a knife-thrower in a circus, I suppose).
Second amendment is badly outdated and needs to be repealed.
