If a thug wants to harm a human and can't find a gun, he can use
knives, poisons, explosives, and many other tools and/or devices. Most
of those tools and devices have little or no value for defensive
purposes.

What a specious argument. Use of poisons and explosives are both illegal and hence rare. Knives are used to harm others, but even they are subject to restrictions in most places. (I had to check my tiny pocketknife before getting into the last concert I attended.) And America has never seen a roomful of school kids killed by knife.

Or, as in the Boston use bombs... As an aside, home made bombs are
cheaper then firearms :-)

<sigh> John, "explosives" includes "bombs," already mentioned. Are you OK?
