If they had more guns, that wouldn't happen.

Maybe. the acid attacks seem to be a response to laws banning the carry of knives. its like a progression. ban guns, people carry more knives. Ban knives, and people start carrying acid. Ban household chemicals, people will kill each other with bricks or something. It would be more convenient if weapons themselves were to blame for violence, but it seems to me that people are the root cause.

Well, there is always going to be a violent element in society. If you can't get a gun, you use a knife. If you can't get a knife, I guess acid is the next best thing for some reason. the outcomes of acid attack are far less dire than a gunshot.

That's debatable. A lot of people who are shot continue on to live long lives without any real issues. Acid attack victims are almost always seriously fucked up for life.

According to this http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-40617058
Out of 208 attacks, 38 resulted in serious injury and 1 was fatal.
I think it's obvious 208 shootings would result in far more than 38 serious injuries. You'd be lucky if there weren't 38 fatalities.
Looking at the data for one year (1992) there were 171,000 victims of gunshots. 22% were fatal. Gun shot outcomes are demonstrably worse.

That's because those stats count attacks with acidic juices like grape juice.
