Nor did I say that they WILL kill someone. But it's pretty obvious that someone with a gun is more likely to shoot someone than someone without a gun. After all, making killing easier for the killer has been one of the biggest advantages from the very invention of guns on. No more risk of getting injured oneself, no more looking the victim in the eye, etc.

TYIA

BBM~~ Guns are somehow a multipurpose tool??..like a _______ ( please fill in the blank) yet does far more damage at a much greater SPEED!!
Millions and millions of guns kill nothing but paper....

Yes, I would say that someone with a gun is more likely to shoot someone, than someone without a gun.
also someone with a knife is more likely to stab someone, than someone without a knife.
also someone with a truck is more likely to drive into a crowd of people than someone without a truck.

please stop digging, we can barely see you from up here.

Is that your opinion or are you quoting someone?
Either way, it doesn't have anything to do with my statement. If a person doesn't have a gun, they can't shoot someone else, It's that simple. Whether they commit other crimes is a different story.

No, I am not saying that you killed anyone with your gun(s). I'm saying that guns have one purpose and that is to kill. I'm sorry you do not understand the distinction. Have a great day and continue to not kill people and make sure your guns are secure and your home is secure from buglers. Also, if you feel the need to shoot up a mall or church or anywhere - please turn yourself in. Thank you...

At this point I have to ask you whether you are a native speaker because your lack of comprehension is really striking. I mean, these two statements are so not the same. Either you don't understand it or you are just trying to put words into my mouth. But you won't succeed at that...

Nor can anyone rule out that those very same people kill someone with their silly hobby.

They WILL kill someone

I never said that.....and please tell me how your mind linked me and the million of people shooting shooting paper to the 6 dead cops...no wonder the left fails when talking about guns and their intended purpose.
