********* Half of U.S. gun deaths are suicides, who would have picked another means if a gun was unavailable, so gun deaths are about 40 a day compared to about 110/day from traffic accidents: http://daily.iflove.com/world/2008-07/01/content_6809520.htm Mass murderers can readily do their thing with knives in places where guns are not available, like the guy in Tokyo who killed 7: http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jun/09/world/fg-stab9
