Before knives there were clubs. Before clubs there were rocks. There have never been shortages of ways to kill each other. But the handgun became the great equalizer. Sam Colt made them equal.
Equal power is the antithesis of liberalism.
That is why liberals want guns eliminated. Because Wayne LaPierre was right. If you recall, LaPierre accused Bill Clinton of accepting tragedy to further his political agenda. In fact, every liberal idea is specifically designed to create failure. If welfare was eliminated and we privatized Medicare and social security, unemployment would disappear, medical costs would drop like a stone, and we'd all retire millionaires.
