Here's a link with
legitimate numbers, the website of the FBI.

In 2011 over 4,000 people in the US were murdered with weapons other than guns. Anyone who wants to kill somebody and doesn't have access to a gun will easily find another way.
Granted, a there were a lot more killed with guns but my point is still valid. People without guns still kill other people. Did you notice that 728 people were killed with no weapon at all (hands/feet only).
You can ban people down to the point of being naked in field like a bunch of sheep and and they will still be able to kill one another ...and sometimes will.
BTW: Those 728 barehanded kills are more than
double the number of rifle kills (as in 'assault' rifle).
I've said it before, I'll say it again. If you have a good solution, I'm all ears. Knee-jerk reactions and unverified statistics to support your claims will not get my attention.
Let us not forget that banning something does not make it unavailable.
Illegal merely means you get it on the street instead of a store.
