No.
Maybe holding a gun just produces an animal response in people that they are just not able to control? Does that sound reasonable?

People kill with knives in the US too.
But guns are easier. Safer for the killer too.
Why do people want to kill other people? Yeah. That's the heart of if it. But good luck.
Wouldn't that be the core of the issue or do you disagree?

There are plenty of people I don't like but I have no desire to kill them. But if I did, my gun would make it real easy to do so.
But I suppose a study of something like that, what number of homicides were precipitated because of the ease of using a gun to kill a person, cuts too close the the 2nd amendment. So, let's study other stuff, but not that.
