The gun enthuiziasts are not far removed from membership in the Manson family...the only logical result from a guns intended use is death.
Every single day that I feed my pets their raw dinner, you bet I celebrate that knife. It makes it so easy to cut through so that I can create adequate sized pieces for my pets. All hail the butcher knife! I love it.

My dad took me out shooting when I was six years old. The only thing I "killed" with his rifle was a bunch of cans. Shooting wasn't the only lesson that day, but I have a feeling you aren't interested in hearing about how some parents educate their children.

I see that you chose not to answer the question, and instead decided to double-down on a bunch of nonsensical anti-gun talking points.

I hope that you aren't confused about why no one in this thread is taking you seriously.

You really need to do some research before you spew off things you have no clue about. Again you blurt out something that has no fact , just driven by emotion. You really should become more informed on a topic you want to debate.

Looks like the jihad has made its way to China, but that's another story.

What an illogical statement, and one which makes no attempt whatsoever to differentiate murder from killing (the latter being the term when one kills in war or in self-defense).

But then that's no surprise, because those who'd disarm legal gun owners cry horseball tears for perps.

"The gun enthuiziasts are not far removed from membership in the Manson family."

This evil person is far removed from the handle displayed on the posts. Possession of personal weapons to defend one's self, family, village or nation has been rooted in common law, the Bible and our Constitution since the beginning.

In most states it is lawful to stop at a yard sale and buy a knife, hatchet,hammer, chain saw and .357 Magnum revolver. It is nobody's business what you buy at a yard sale. You can swap that .357 Magnum at a local gravel pit for a nice rifle. That is also legal in most states.

Gun violence has gone down by half in our nation over the last 20 years. It continues to decline. The reason it is declining is that more and more citizens are carrying concealed firearms. Progressives want to take all our guns. They say so. Law enforcement has no appetite for being on the front lines of the resultant war if this begins. Many of them will be on the side of the citizens, not the progressives.

I suspect you of being a pedophile. There. Now you are tainted for life. No matter where you go or what you say, you will always have been once suspected of being a pedophile.

Hysterics who fear guns often tell this lie, usually in hopes it won't get challenged and debunked.

But in fact, guns are used far more often to deter crimes ands stop criminals, than they are to kill (or even to commit ALL gun crimes). Study after study has found this... including quite a few studies where the people who commissioned them, were shocked and embarrassed at the results.

Clearly, if law-abiding citizens were forbidden guns, there would be a LOT more crimes committed and innocent people killed.

The OP is correct. Other than guns that are made only for target shooting or for show, guns are designed to be able to kill. But.....guns do not have a life of their own and are completely dependant on the operator. A gun left on a table or in a drawer or floor. etc is unable to fire on it's own. Therefore it is completely safe. So, what if the OP is correct? I can say that every person is born to kill. That makes about as much sense as her statement. IMO.
