Sorry GM but for me these "people have always done shit and will always do shit with whatever weapon comes to hand" arguments sound so thin to me now.

People are being killed all the time now in the States because of ready gun access - and yes people being people. The latter we ain't got a hope of sorting now. The former more so; although there are probably so many automatic weapons out there thid may also now be impossible.

I know many New Yorkers who avoid Manhattan not because of guns but because of people stabbing each other on subways or people getting pushed on the tracks.

Unprovoked attacks were rare but now they are the norm in many cities.

Where are the 400 million shootings?

We better have those 'safety' muskets that Wyot mentioned.
