Not as much as they caused with guns, is my guess.
"Law abiding citizens" may feel more secure if they have a gun, until it is used on them, or stolen and used in a crime.
Ok, but I've never heard of a person being "spooned" to death, or killed by being beaten with a roll of toilet paper.

I would be fine with not having my guns as long as NO ONE ELSE gets to have them either, ever... that means cops also.
Until that time... they stay.
BTW, I grew-up on a ranch and my side-arm was used as protection against snakes, boar and a myriad of other things. Not just humans. But, poachers were also an issue.
That you have a problem with people protecting themselves is suspect in my eyes.
Deer in the US are overpopulated, as are many other species, culling is nessicary... hunters are also the major supporters of most of your green, environmentalist, groups. Get educated.
