Basically, and this is very basic:
- Guns kill, they were invented to kill, they are designed to kill. That is their purpose.
- I believe that a gun ban will save lives. Even if it is just one, that is good enough for me.
- I am not convinced guns save lives. No evidence has been put forward, just speculation. I also don't believe that individual civilians should be given the power to wild such a weapon and thus become judge and executor.
- I believe "legimate" gun users do not need to get their pleasure from firing off weapons and will find something else to do.
- We have a right to live in a gun free society (this is in response to those who bring up the "right to bare arms")
[quote:24bac]The reason I bring up the Automobile, in the gun debate. It is because the number one reason everyone dislikes firearms is because they say people use them to kill other people.
I just point out, statistically, automobiles kill more people![/quote:24bac]
Cars are not designed to kill. Cars serve a valuable purpose. Using your argument we should legalise anthrax, land mines, functional tanks for civilian use, because "they don't kill, people do". It is a poor excuse, in my eyes, and is comparing apples and oranges.
[quote:24bac]On a side note. Stepping out of this debate.
I would like to commend both sides for not turning this into a flame war and or personal attack. If for some reason If it does turn into that, I will have no choice but to close the thread. It's nice to know that everyone here can have an intelligent conversation. While defending thier beliefs.
Thanks guys / gals.[/quote:24bac]
It is unqiue.
I heartily agree. Well done all.
[quote:24bac]Now back to the debate.[/quote:24bac]
I think we've reached the end here... Sorry for hijacking the thread, you guys can get back to your gun-collecting talk.
