The difference between guns and knives is paramount in this debate.
Consider this: Guns offer a human the ability to pull a trigger and instantly inflict deadly harm on someone—sometimes based on two seconds of rational or irrational thought.
Wielding a knife in a deadly manner requires a great deal of skill, strength, endurance and, most importantly, perseverance. One might actually start to regret their actions before their victim is mortally wounded.
Therefore, I posit that limiting access to firearms will indeed reduce the number of violent murders committed.
PS. Poisoning a large number of people (or any other small-scale WMD) is much more likely to be detectable and preventable than either firearms or sharp objects. I suggest we can remove those from this debate.
