I agree that crazy people intent on harming others are going to do so whether they have access to firearms or not (see: Timothy McVeigh). On the other hand, firearms are really easy to acquire in the United States, and the sad truth is that in the hands of someone who doesn’t care about the consequences, they can drastically increase the level of violence.
Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. But guns makes killing other people a lot easier and faster, and that’s the honest truth.
