Bombs can be rigged to go off without the bomber being nearby. Things like cameras, witnesses, and trained dogs are the only defense there at best, and the potential damage can hit more than one person at a time. It also spreads a far more obvious fear that's harder to control.

The news even with guns reports pipe bombs and incindiaries enough to show that it'll always be a threat. The real danger of it is how impossible it is to stop them from being homemade alongside the potential there is to get away with it undetected, allowing repeat offenses far more than someone spraying gunfire. Even the parts if handled cleverly enough won't resemble anything obvious. 

It's why airport security has to be so paranoid.

But still, bombs are not as effective. They are one use only and the users wont be professionals at all.
Its much easier to just go in a crowded area and shoot.
A (pipe)bomb will maybe kill 2-3(and i am being generous, it might not even kill anyone) people, unless its huge, and injure a whole wont.
With a gun you can kill 2-3 people much faster, like one clip. Reload and do it again(and this is with bad aim). Now if you have an automatic gun, you can just mow the crowd.

Most of the people who are gonna do these things will not be good at it. They will leave traces, make shitty bombs, fuck up the positioning, the timing, etc. A gun is simple and easy. The columbine shooting had bombs, but they fucked it up and the bombs did little damage. And i think the columbine peeps were pretty good at their terror, even tho they fucked it up so much.

Also, its much easier to suicide using a gun, its a fast painless way(usually). Other methods require more balls. So if suicidal people have no guns, they will commit less suicide.

In general, guns are not good to be given like bread... guns are power and responsible people should have them. People who are trained and have no mental problems and guns should be cataloged(who has a gun and etc).

Ofc you can still get it illegally, but thats harder and complicated and will probably cost more. And you might get caught.

You can reduce the problems, but i think that will take so much time and so much work before it has an effect, that if you first deal with the guns, you can save way more lives.

I can't pin point the exact problems why people in USA go crazy, i don't live there. But just watching your elections, i can imagine lol. The problem is way too deep imo, take the guns away from crazy people and have some common sense first.

Not taking them all away, just stronger regulation. I couldn't tell you the exact details of what those regulations would be.

Rapes are illegal and yet they occur. So why make rape illegal?

First make the obvious rules, then think about how to enforce them in greater detail. You can't think of all the possible problems before that.

Obviously people are going to break the law, but you need to have it anyway.

It seems much easier then anything else you can do.

And its definitely common sense that there needs to be regulation on guns. Like, they kill people, lol.

But i am not entirely knowledgeable of the gun laws there, so i can't really go into detail.

Guns are different though because first there was a law made to protect a right to bear arms. Even if people of the present exaggerated the meaning of that right, it only matters how it's been reinforced. There was never an amendment protecting the right to rape people. See where I'm coming from? It's a matter of changing the rules after people got too cozy with how it's always been, and for too long. I'm not saying things should stay the same as it's always been. I'm saying the solution is not as easy as you're making it out to be and has nothing to do with common sense.

Amendment? No. 

Diagnosis? Against women anyway, somewhat.

so owning a gun is like rape?

I understand what you're saying. But I also think anyone who plans to regulate guns in American has to take an approach that requires more critical thinking. It's risky in ways people who live in other countries can have opinions on without taking everything into consideration, because they live in other countries. 

Anyways, I'm not morally bankrupt, but I do feel that making it easy for people to remain a threat to each other has a place, and it would also be better if we never find a cure for cancer. That view may change some day should my own hypocrisy be tested in some ironic way. For now, seeing as the dinosaurs won't be coming back and people are living longer, there has to be some other ways to reduce the numbers. :)
