Are the guns deadly or the people?

From FOX:

A farmer angry over a court ruling set off a bomb in a Chinese courthouse, killing himself and four other people, a news report said Saturday.

As it turns out, this isn't all that uncommon in China.

Bomb attacks motivated by grudges or business disputes are common in China, where most gun ownership is banned but explosives are widely available for mining and construction. (Emphasis mine).

This is what most in anti-gun crowd never understand. People who kill are going to kill regardless of what they have to use to do so. No guns? They'll use bombs or fire or knives-whatever works in that situation. Even if the anti-gun crowd were succesful in taking guns away from responsible citizens and criminals, the criminals would still find a way to kill, and some of those methods of murder-like bombs-are even more deadly than guns. At least with guns legal, and legal to carry by responsible citizens, society has a reasonable way of protecting itself from its criminal element and possibly preventing violent gun crime.
