You're more likely to be beaten to death with fists than killed by a rifle. The whole thing is emotion-based manipulation.

Exactly, and this is why fists need to be highly regulated by the government. I propose mandating that everyone have their hands surgically altered so that they're unable to make fists, and can only close their fingers partway.
Rifles are on the order of 20% as likely to be used to commit a murder as knives ( https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-... ).

Regulating what people can build in their own homes is not a good idea, nor is saying "this set of machine blueprints is legal to possess, while this other is not". The hacking community has known this for a long time ( https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html ).
