OK SMARTS!!! I BET YOU WILL PISS YOUR PANTS WHEN SOMEONE COMES IN YOUR HOUSE AND TRIES TO MURDER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
First, people randomly breaking in to kill someone is so exceedingly rare, it's absurd to even bring this point to light. In many cases, if a person is shot during a home invasion, it's quite likely because the owner startled the invader, and waved a gun like it was some magical deterrent.
AND ALSO GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE YOU MORON!!!
But the moment you brandish a gun, things escalate. You show a person a bat, or something, and they realize they just have to outrun you, save for a few cases where aggression takes over. Show a person a gun, and it's a me or them situation.
WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THESE HIPPIES? I GUESS WE SHOULDN'T USE KNIFES EITHER!!!
Ignoring the "the 60's are over, man" comment, knives have a practical purpose. And if a person is wandering around waving a combat knife, he'll still be taken down much like if he had a gun.
SINCE KNIFES ALSO ''KILL PEOPLE'' SO WHY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY ALL THE SHARP OBJECTS IN AMERICA ALSO?
Such a slippery slope there. Since we feel guns have no use other than destructive purposes, anything that could be used to take a life should be outlawed? That'd be impossible to legislate, for starters, let alone enforce, and a folly on all levels.
SINCE PEOPLE GET KILLED BY KNIFES AND ELECTROCUTION, HEY WHY DON'T WE ALL JUST LIVE IN AMERICA WITHOUT OUTLETS AND SHARP OBJECTS? IT'S LIKE OOOH OH NO SOMEONE GOT KILLED WITH A PLASTIC KNIFE AHHHH!!! I THINK WE SHOULD BAN PLASIC KNIFES IN AMERICA.
Do you...go back and read what you write, or just hit send?
AND ANYWAY WHAT NEXT? ARE YOU GOING TO BLAME YOUR PENCIL FOR MISPELLED WORDS?
No, but most laws lean to keeping guns out of the hands of people that would just use them for destructive purposes. Not a flat out ban, dimbulb.
COME ON GET OUT OF FANTASYLAND!!! HOW WOULD YOU FEND FOR YOURSELF IF YOU WERE LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS ALONE WITH A GUN?
This assumes everyone carries their gun with them everywhere. I mean, owning a gun isn't gonna do you any good in the mountains, if it's locked up safely in the gun cabinet at home. And again, what you propose is a pretty unlikely situation.
HMMMMMMM MAYBE GO HUNTING? CAUSE IT SURE WOULD BE HARD TO KILL AND ANIMAL WITH A ROCK OR A STICK.
NEWSFLASH! No one plans to get lost in the woods. As such, you are likely unprepared, and will have to improvise. If you have a gun with you, all the better, but in most cases, rock and stick is all you'll have.
