After every mass shooting, politicians on the left clamber for increased gun control measures. They tell Republicans to “do the right thing” and “get something done.”

I understand what you are saying, and I'm not necessarily in favor of gun control, sort of on the fence about it, but I do want to point out that the argument, "more people are killed by knives than by guns, therefore we should [not have gun control or whatever it is you're saying]," is not a good argument.  Because you could just as well say, more people are killed by falling coconuts than by nuclear weapons, therefore trying to control nuclear weapons is a waste of time.  It's not a good argument.   

A crazy person probably can't kill 200 people with a knife, but with a gun, it's easy.  That's why people focus on finding some way to get some sort of control over who has  really deadly weapons.
