clap clap clap I would like to commend everybody that replied to this thread for it was kept clean, rational and mature...

There is no need for car accidents... but by following your "logic" we should just get rid of seat belts and airbags cause we shouldnt need them???

This is not what I meant... Seatbelts and airbags are meant to prevent you from getting more injuries or be killed thus a positive thing, hand guns are not meant to prevent you from being killed. Seatbelts and airbags are solutions/preventions for accidents and hand guns are not solutions for accidents or crime. Got it? again, 2 wrongs don't make it right.

Havok and Griff: Very well said.

edit: speaking of prevention for getting killed by a gun, maybe somebody would just invent something like a kevlar that you could use everyday, like incorporate in our daily clothes. lol a bulletproof brief or thong hahahaha

Sorry dude but its true... we shouldnt need seat belts or airbags, if everyone drove slow and safe. But that isnt how it works, people speed drink and drive and drive poorly, hence the need to protect yourself with those precautions, seat belts and airbags. BUT people do dumb stuff, like rob you, rape you, assault you or anyone around you, you can have alot of precautions for that stuff, never travel alone, stay away from bad areas late at night, take a karate class, or carry/own a gun.

I am sorry if you cant see that as a rational thought.

Airbags kill people. Seat belts kill people.

My friend died in highschool becuase he wore his seat belt when he was in a car accident... they are supposed to help you but sometimes that isnt how it works out. Same can go for a gun. When you used properly they can protect you, and put food on your table, but when used improperly or illegally they can kill you or someone else...

Guns are a tool. Used to hunt and to protect ourselves and our country. that is a pretty positive thing if you ask me...

You madam are awesome.

Now, this is very simple. Guns do not kill people, bullets when shot out of that gun kill people, and bullets (normally) dont go off until the trigger is pulled, by (again, normally) a finger that is attached to a human hand. Thus, People kill people. IF not with a gun, then with a knife,bat,hammer,poison,rope,broken bottle,chainsaw, screw driver, bricks.......do i need to go on? It doesnt matter what you do with guns, people will kill people other ways. Atleast with guns the battle is even. and even if there are laws banning guns or making it harder to get them, well drugs are illegal arent they?

There is no solution, but being a good judge of what needs to be done. If i caught a person taking my car, i would not shot him, its a car, i love it, but its not worth a persons life. Now if you in my house, then your to close for comfort and your dead when you turn around. because im not going to give you the chance to think about hurting someone in that house. If you pull a knife on me, you intend to hurt me in a very bad way and maybe kill me, your dead. you want to get into a fist fight with me. we throw down, if i lose, i lose. i dont kill for out of pride. And with that is your solution.

People Have To Think.

I agree with most of what you said...but i gotta ask you. If you can use all those things as weapons, why do you need to have full possession of a gun? People kill people like you said so whats the purpose of having a gun when in fact people are the only lethal weapons walking the streets. This is according to you.

IF i may chime in here... If you got into a situation where the the people/person you were fighting pulled out a knife on you, or a metal pipe, or a bat or....... i would rather pull out a gun. NOTE i did not say i would shoot them, but in most cases when someone pulls out a gun everyone kinda stops what they are doing, and then you can get out of a bad situation.

Watch the movie Pretty Women, there is a great scene where they are getting hassaled by like 3 or 4 people some wiht knives, his bodygaurd just flashes his gun and everyone kinda stops and goes away... granted its a movie, but i think that would be pretty true to forum...
