> My preference would be ban handguns

We can’t even get assault rifles banned, good luck banning hand guns.

All rifles combined -- including "assault rifles" -- are involved in fewer murders than knives. Also involved in fewer murders than hands/fists. This is true even in states where laws for obtaining them are very lax:

That's my point. For all the demonization of rifles and assault rifles, handguns are the bulk of the problem.

But I think handguns would be even harder politically to ban.

Big problem is the Supreme Court said states can't ban handguns. Which is sort of insane because they allow states to ban 'assault weapons' and sawed off shotguns.
