   Murder is against the law in the U.S.A.   
   Folks who have the intent to commit murder don't really care what   
   method they use.   
      
   The U.S.A. has over 20,000 laws restricting the use of firearms   
   including a federal law that prohibits possession of a firearm by a   
   convicted felon.  Many of the murders commited by all means in the   
   U.S.A. are by felons with histories of violence.   
      
   Not to mention every year the net number of firearms increases in the   
   U.S.A. while the total crime rate and the crime rate with firearms   
   decreases. Please explain that.
