Gee, here's a thought; how about doing research into criminal violence...which covers guns, knives, baseball bats, rolling pins, etc. for example, my aunt was murdered in a Charles Manson style murder. Her killer used a knife, and cut off her limbs, writing death threats to my family in her blood. The issue here is violent crime, not guns. By singling out guns this is purely political, and an attack on 2nd amendment rights.
