[QUOTE="the_taste_of_cigarettes:118350"]Jellyfish said:[QUOTE]the taste of cigarettes said:[QUOTE]yeah guns are fucking stupid. really. I have no respect for them. Guns are the most useless things I can think of...and it doesn't take a "real man" or anything to pull a trigger, a child can do it, which is why there's so many deaths every year by accidental handgun firings around the house. there's nothing you can't say with a sword or a knife that you can say with a gun. [/QUOTE] A gun is just a tool dude. You can kill someone with a wrench, screwdriver, anything. Its not the gun that kills, its the people that kill. Guns are powerful and now a days its ridiculously easy to get one, legally and illegally so one way or another someone is fucked. As for accidental deaths in the house, people who own a gun with children or whatever in the house should take every single precaution to keep the kids from being able to use them. But people are too god damn stupid to put the locks on their guns or even unload it that kids do fool around and people do get killed. Maybe Im going no where with this but pretty much Im trying to say you cant blame the tool because without the operator the tool just sits and collects dust.[/QUOTE] It is a tool with no function other than to put a huge hole in a living creature. It differs from a screwdriver or a hammer in that those tools are designed with other goals in mind, to serve constructive purposes. There is nothing constructive, in my mind, about taking a life or mutilating another human being. A gun is not a car or a blender. Someone is imaging the death of something that was alive when they make a gun. If you want target practice, use a bow or something. If guns were really designed to shoot paper targets they'd be far less lethal. People leave guns loaded around the house because they are afraid that if a burgular comes in, they won't be able to load, or, say unlock, the gun with speed enough to take out the intruder. They think they are PROTECTING the lives of their children when they do this, so they can shoot the intruder without having to think twice. They think unloaded weapons or locks will actually ENDANGER their families. Let's look up the stastics on shooting people by "mistake" in the home, when people didn't think twice before paralyzing their wife, husband, or friend. It's too high, whatever the number is. A tool's goal should not be to cause something so harmful as a fatality. Swords and knives can hurt people really badly, but they take determination to eliminate a life, and skill. Granted, they are still deadly weapons, designed, often, to hurt, but you have the option of not killing. It can be very hard not to seriously hurt someone with a gun if you are pointing it at them, at all, because of how quickly and how forcefully it works. I agree gun owners need to be responsible, but how responsible can you be with a death machine? [/QUOTE]
