Not true, Australian homicide rate reduced substantially. Gun deaths and injuries of course reduced very substantially. And many gun deaths and injuries are not premeditated murders, but accidents, suicides, and "heat of the moment" situations.

If "guns don't kill people", we'd trust (good) people to wield cruise missiles. Clearly the weapons do kill people.

We do trust good people with grenades/rockets/missiles. They're classified as Destructive Devices by the BATFE and you as a citizen can apply for approval to own them.

As for cruise missiles, those are covered by international treaty so outside the scope of discussion.
