Reply #93: Does The Homicide Report only report on homicides committed with firearms? [View All]

If not, I do not understand its relevance in this discussion. That the United States has an unacceptable homicide rate is without question. However, claiming that the homicide rate is solely because of civillian access to firearms is specious at best, given that the United States also has high homicide rates committed with implements other than firearms -- unless you are suggesting that the mere presence and availability of firearms causes individuals to wish to commit murder, even if they themselves have no access to firearms.
