Guns

[beowulf]

guns dont kill people..............people kill people.............the gun is just the tool............if there was no guns, it would be a knife or club or something...........more people die every minute due to drink or smoking than to guns in a year but i dont see those being touted as being banned or restricted in the same way guns are

Teddy Kennedy's car killed more people than all of my firearms combined.



That too... is a fact.



Almost totally meaningless, but it is a fact.



The debate should be what society can do about the criminal element that even now illegally owns guns.



If you pass a ban, there will be a lot of honest law abiding citizens that will line up to turn in their only means of defense against the thugs in the community, and against oppression by the government as well, while the gangstas and other lawbreakers keep theirs and get ready for a feeding frenzy.



That too, is a fact.



And if you think that....

is a good idea, then you're plainly either misguided or just stupid.

Why do you have confederate flags in your avatar? Do you support slavery?



The United States did ban drinking at one point, but then repealed it because of the power it gave to organized crime. But this was back when law enforcement is not nearly what it is today, I'm not sure that the same thing would happen nowadays.
