No. Firearms empower. With a firearm you know you will hurt people, and more than one. With a knife or a baseball bat you "might injure" one person.

The differences between the two are staggering. There are more cars on the roads then guns, and more drivers than gun owners. Cars are used daily, firearms are used once every other month. Automobile deaths are accidents, and when they happen they happen to multiple people - the driver, everyone in his (her) car, and whatever they hit.
