It seems a bit dubious to ban something that has legitimate uses and isn't even on the "leaderboard" in the murder category.
If you believe handguns should be banned, it is at least somewhat logically consistent of a position. But if you ban something that is a fringe edge-case in the statistics, we know a priori it will be minimally effective at best, and at worst those murders will be performed by other, more convenient means.
