(not condoning) Just making a point.
Rope, insulin, fire/gas, exhaust fumes, bush hog mower, chemicals, bleach, water, step/push in front of train/semi/bus/airplane prop, ice pick, gaff, box cutter, duct tape, blow dryer in a bathtub, cocaine/meth/ecstasy, push/fall into a garbage truck, push/fall into a cardboard compactor, street paver, neck tie, spear gun, cross bow, shove toilet plunger into rectum of fellow inmate...
Saw all of these on episodes of CSI or Law and Order

For committing mass murder, guns are inefficient. People don;t decide that because they can legally buy a gun, they are going to go kill a bunch of people. First they decide they are going to kill and THEN they pick a weapon.
Guns are for personal protection. That's what they were designed for. But when you want to go on the offensive, explosives are what most armies use.
