you mean like how shoving elderly Asian men off train platforms is outlawed?

Many lives would be saved because that would mean that handguns and knives would be outlawed and they are used to commit the large % of murders.  According to the FBI most recent statistics in 2017 Handguns were used in 7032 murders, knives were used in 1591 and rifles were used in 403.  https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u.s.-2017/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls

LOL, maybe you should find out what weapons are used in war first.

None. People will just switch to a .30 cal carbine. Effective range 300 yards. About 6lbs in weight, very light. Easy to shoot. And with the folding stock. It easily fits in a back pack.

People making home made bombs are not exactly law abiding.
