this is true, but i don't these people not owning guns would stop them from doing harm. Unless we're talking like the 0.01% chance of your SO literally walking into your room, shooting you point blank with a 12ga and walking out and surrendering to the police instantly, which basically never happens.
People don't just wake up and start hurting people. That's just not how it works. Maybe an accident, but you would have to be either extremely negligent or extremely stupid to end up hurting someone, and most likely, it'll be you. (because you're the one maintaining it)
again, falling back to the power tools argument, or basically any other potentially dangerous object, anything is dangerous if you stare at it long enough.
