A violent human with a sword, knife, or 6 shots will inevitably be less violent (Cause less damage) than the same human with an automatic weapon carrying a 30 round clip.
Simple Math.
I disagree the gun is more efficient yes but is a relatively new weapon. Though before its creation people were just as violent without them as they were with them.
People been killing people for thousands of years without guns just fine. The only difference now is that we keep track of who was killed by what.
People are the problem not the tools used. People been killing with clubs, and sharp stones formed into crude knives and spears. Then science invents a more efficient way to kill people we create swords, knives, bows and arrows. So we start killing each other with those. The science create another more effective way for us to dispatch each other gun powder. With this Guns, Cannons are created to kill people. Then from there we have just perfected the use of Guns, and made cannons more efficient by creating tanks and Warships, and Missile's.
What makes me laugh about this whole debate is everyone for reform is arguing to ban certain or all guns yet not one argue's the real problem. It is not the gun but the person. You reform the way people can obtain guns. It is not the tools fault those children are dead it was the person using it.
How did he obtain those guns from his mother who is basically at fault for not securing them properly. Killing has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years the only reason people are up in arms is because we now keep track of what happens in the world.
I don't mean to sound mean or cruel but those kids have not been the first kids slaughtered by guns in the world and they won't be the last it is a fact of life. What I see is people just don't know how to come to terms with it.
