Yes, terrorists use knives. There was an incident this week in the London Underground of such a thing happening.

2 people slashed, none critically, and offender was taken down with a taser.

Now, imagine it was a gun...

I agree with you, the US is too hard now to get rid of them because they're everywhere. That was my point above. In the rest of the ("western" world where they're not so pervasive, the murder/death rate is nowhere near as high as the US; you have to go to basically lawless places to get a death rate as high as America's.

I'm not against needing a weapon to defend yourself when you have very high crime rates and all those around you have weapons. I just believe it shouldn't have got to that point in the first place.
