Guns are.<br /><br />actually guns are NOT designed to kill people they are designed to safely throw a projectile. <br /><br />The person using the gun gets to decide whether its used to prune off branches of trees to use the cuttings for making more straight trees for the lumber industry. <br /><br />the person using the gun gets to decide whether its used to shoot at a safe target in a safe manner, and even make a game out of scoring, or a sport out of the skill needed to get that launched projectile WHERE YOU WANT IT TO BE<br /><br />the person using the gun gets to decide whetehr its used to celebrate a wedding in afghanistan<br /><br />the person using the gun gets to decide whther its used to put food on the table (last i heard cannibalism is not legal nor practiced much any more)<br /><br />the list of uses of guns outside killing people is large, and the guns themselves are not designed to kill people... anyone going to the automatic gun shows where you get to sit and shoot maching guns are not there to shoot each other or have some man run up and down the hill with explosives... they use a old van for that and a pully system to make the target move. <br /><br />the only VALID place guns are used to kill people is in wars, insurgencies, revolutions, etc... (And in some of them thats if you agree with the point, if not, then its not a good use of guns). <br /><br />remove war... and remove crime against people with guns<br />and pretty much ALL the uses of guns are not about killing people <br />and only some of the uses are for even killing animals<br /><br />if one wants a weapon specifically designed to kill people only, then one should look to the katana and other swords. swords are not for bear hunting, trimming the bushes out front of your home, they are instruments for combat between people in which one or both may end up dead or deformed. and even that has become a sport where the dominant use of swords is practice, entertainment, and competition where people go to great lengths not to get hurt. <br /><br />chainsaws have been used in murders, even outside hollyweird, would you say that they are designed to kill people? (wood chippers too). <br /><br />last week there was a new york article where they are on a manhunt trying to find a man who took his car and ran over another... we all agree that the car is not designed to be a death weapon for people... but ask the dentist whose wife ran over him, then backed over him while his daughter was in the car yelling at mom to stop. <br /><br />what about archery? it parallels guns... made for exactly the same reasons, its also a weapon that is designed to throw a projectile... what it is directed at is the users choice... just as when a car is used as a weapon and not when its properly used. <br /><br />if you want to go down lists of what people use to kil each other it can get quite silly and amazing... piano wire, cable, cars, explosives, hands (by far the worst culprit. in fact, if you cut everyones hands off you would stop a lot of crime, you would also stop a lot of other things too that are not crime), spatula, swords, water deep and shallow, poison, deep wells, cliffs (back up a bit more honey), animals (pit bull kills person, doberman attacks old lady), bad advice, and the list goes on and on... <br /><br />i am quite amazed you let that one slip :)<br /><br /><br /><br />Artfldgrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594241837693535704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-41059063761522518002015-09-22T21:09:21.941+10:002015-09-22T21:09:21.941+10:00How many cell phones have caused death?

I personally used 25,000 rounds to practice my fast draw. I eventually got good enough to hit a 50 cent piece at 50 feet with my fast draw, draw. I used several more thousands of rounds to get good at rifle shooting. by the time I was 18 if you could see it I could hit it. I'm 67 and not nearly as good as I used to be but being in front of me is not a good place to be if we have a problem. So out of all of the ammo that has ever been made how much has actually been used to kill someone? Why has our government recently bought several billion rounds of ammo that is intended to kill and can not be used in military weapons under the Geneva convention? How long do you have to target practice to burn up several billions of man killer rounds? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
