but they are trying to ban handguns as well so. . .
personally, mine are used for competition and recreational shooting. thats MY benefit. If thats not a benefit to you, thats o.k., but dont take it from me because a criminal went out and did some criminal type shit with the same or similar gunBut im just curious.. what are you doing thats so beneficial with this weapons? They are used to shoot things.. there is no other purpose for them.
guns do have different purposes. Recreation, self defense and personal protection, property protection, hunting etc. . . they actually play a pretty big role in both industry and ordinary peoples livesYou brought up "then they should ban planes because of 9/11.. they should ban cars because people can run people over.. they should ban knives because people stab people."
Unlike guns, all of those things have other purposes.
planes are also used to ram into buildings, cars are used to mow through crowds of people, knives are used to stab people. . you are pretty much proving my point here. These are all OBJECTS that criminals incorrectly use to take lives with. A gun, like planes, knives, rocks, condoms, cell phones etc. . is just an object. A tool like a hammer or a saw.Planes are used to transport people across the country & other nations.. cars are obviously used to get to & from work or wherever else we need to go. Knives or blades in general are necessary because theyre used in everyday jobs, cooking, numerous day to day activities require a blade. And bombs are already illegal. What else you got?
congrats. me either. Still don't mean we shouldn't have access to them.I've never once in my life HAD to use a gun.
lol cant argue with thatGuns are used to shoot things & thats it.
no it really don't. not when far more positive things come out of guns then negative things. sit on that for a minute!The negatives thats come from guns far outweighs your need to go target shooting/hunting.
lol ..... you are too easy my good friend.What are those kinds of guns so necessary for that anyone who hasnt been labeled a criminal yet has access to? What is their positive purpose other then shooting things. What benefit do guns give us that we absolutley need that far outweighs the number of deaths theyve caused. Let me know.
law enforcement and civilians use guns to protect lives every day. In fact, they are used to save many more lives then they are used to take away.
but more notably is the RIDICULOUS argument that the guns cause death . . . not the people pulling the trigger, but the gun.
but you just want to get rid of everything thats not a handgun.
so let me ask you this. . when you take away rifles, shotguns, "assault weapons", and every other gun that you think is too dangerous to have on the streets. . . . and it does nothing to stop crime or stop shootings, how long will it take before you start advocating to ban the handguns too?
