Saying that gun control should not be done because there are bigger killers around is like saying that the school bully should not be controlled because the Unabomber was worse. Fallaceous illogic.

Comparing school kids to bombers.

Totally a fair comparison.

Failure to prioritize. If one's stated goal is to reduce the number of unnecessary deaths then alcohol and tobacco should be their primary targets. That's obviously not the case and the hypocrisy of your position, groper, is revealed. Once again I have to connect the dots for you.

If I was going to kill someone my first choice would certainly be a firearm. Preferably a long gun, from a substantial distance. Then a quick fishing trip in the Gulf, maybe 30 - 40 miles offshore. We don't need no stinking ballistics.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Well lack of control of testosterone + availability of tools to kill is normally what leads to a murder

It's a hell of a lot easier to control the latter
When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!

I'd use one of those Hilti nail drivers - they're powered by a small charge that propels the driving pin forward to sink nails into concrete. Remove the nail clip and use it like 'friendo' used his pneumatic cow-killer thing in No Country for Old Men. It's much more portable.. but somewhat loud.
