Guns have no other use than shooting. Shooting is deadly and kills people. Most will advocate for things like, no handguns, no semi-autos, no shotguns, smaller caliber and things of the like to make them able to be used for hunting and that's about it.

Cameras are used for much more than CP. Guns are special because they're so specialized for murder. Cameras can be used to produce CP, but the real crime is the crime against a child, which the camera has little to do with.

Another thing to look at is what's to lose. If we ban cameras a majority of visual media is gone. Evidence of crime is gone, the memories you make with them are gone. It would be a different world without cameras just day to day. Banning guns wouldn't affect too many peoples lives too much. The problem is that we already are so supersaturated with firearms that getting rid of them would be too much a logistical nightmare.
