I'm not just talking about guns. I'm talking about substances and tools with high potentials for weaponization. If suddenly guys from /r9k/ were dropping chlorine bombs everywhere, we'd see bleach become a controlled substance.

Correct. Banning guns in the UK has lead to bats and knives being used to perpetrate violence instead. Britain has a higher, or at least on par, violent crime rate than the U.S.... though it has a far lower murder rate. What can we glean from that? I dunno.
