    Outlaw guns, we'll see a rise in the amount of bombings. And TONS of things can be made into pretty lethal explosive devices with very little know how.

The idea of nearly outlawing guns is practiced in literally tons of democratic states across the planet with research that doesn't support the claim at all. Look at places like Australia that had extremely rapid policy change in terms of gun reform, and there hasn't been a statistical increase in bombings. Outlawing guns doesn't mean we are going to stop violence in it's entirety it means making it that much harder to commit an act of violence.
