Are you American?
I don't think "thugs" is appropriate to describe people who commit mass murder. It is a different set of people. So if only "thugs" had guns. You'd be better off.
The 2nd Amendment says nothing about a right to own ammunition. Maybe there need to be controls on who can buy it, and how much at any one time. Maybe you should tax it really, really heavily. People might still get shot, but shooters will probably be a lot more selective about who's worth shooting.

Anyhow, more Americans are killed in automobile wrecks but no one is up in arms banning cars. The problem is the system is broken. I had a friend stabbed to death and giving 10 years with possible parole in 5 years and due to over crowded prisons was set to be released in 2 yrs...we was able to get it pushed back to 5 yrs. My friend is in the grave and his killer is free walking the streets. A lot of countries have banned firearms and they all saw an increase is violent crimes involving knives. It got so bad in England they started registering knives and selling stab proof vest. They even made supposed stab proof knives...this lasted long enough for criminals to figure out they could kill someone jabbing them in the eye sockets.

No one stopped trying to make car use safer though.
That says nothing about registering knives.
I think that's what he was getting at, some knives are illegal but you don't have to register any of them as suggested by Twisted Shadow.Yeah. Me getting mixed up with who posted what. It's been a hard week of little sleep.
