Military Massacre Machines and Musket Loaders

One of the talking points I see repeatedly on Facebook and elsewhere is essentially the old "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument.  

These writers put the blame for the mass murders on bad moral values and mental illness.  Of course there will always be people who go out and kill other people.  They will kill in grocery stores and schools and churches.  

But if they are forced to do it with, say, musket loaders and machetes, fewer will die because those weapons are less efficient.  They were invented for hunting and chopping underbrush.  Getting military machines engineered for massacre off the street and out of people's closets and trucks will save lives.
