guns FWIW are used in about 70% of all US homicides, and handguns in about 80% of those. I am more than aware that guns are the primary weapon of choice for murderers. This is not however, particularly germane to my point - which is solely related to the lethality of mass murder tools, where guns are quite far down on the list. Thank you for at least not assuming what I thought about a separate issue like others did, but please be aware high lethality and frequency of use are, indeed, two separate issues. To address your issue (frequency of use) even more - it should be noted that "assault weapons" either real or copies, are used in very very few murders - less than 2% I believe. The most frequent gun used is IIRC the humble .38 revolver.
