Good grief... you can kill a person with a pencil- will they outlaw them too?

If you look at their argument though, it fails on this: Knives has useful 
and valuable purposes, and using them as a weapon represents a misuse. 
Guns, on the other hand, have no purpose other than violence.

These guys really need to run their statements past someone versed in basic 
logic and rhetoric. It might do them some good.
