I think the idea is that it's much more useful to single out guns than other things which are impractical to even restrict at all (i.e. knives, baseball bats, razor blades). Anyone can obtain a sharp or blunt object to attack someone with. But a projectile weapon is much more convenient, and also much easier to control since they aren't an integral part of our daily lives.
Of course, you may be referring to things like tasers, mace, brass knuckles, etc. I'm not really sure. You'd have to be more specific.
