Guns do the dirty work

I often hear those who are against gun control use some form of the "knife control," "baseball bat control," et al., argument. I'd like to ask them to question their position.

First, we can possibly run away from someone with a knife or other hands-on weapon. No human has ever been able to outrun a bullet. Secondly, a gun, to me, is curiously impersonal. Point and shoot. It does the work.

Also, what about collateral damage? The bullet doesn't always hit its intended target. But it will hit something, or worse - someone. Someone with a hands-on weapon is personal.

Perhaps the ones who try to defend their position believe gun-control advocates are not too bright. Rethink that, too.
