FWIW, I suggest that there are some folks out there who, for whatever reason or for no reason whatever, want to kill. I just think it's naive to believe that not letting them have a gun for weapon will stop them. I think it's even more naive to believe that making it illegal to buy/own a gun will stop someone, who has already decided to break the law against murder, from getting a gun.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc is the formal name of the logical fallacy whereby an event is ascribed as a cause only due to it's occurring before prior to another event or condition. Having said that the expression "guns don't kill people, people kill people!" does not follow from my post and your saying this is just a straw-man.
