RE: Should the United States Ban Guns?
I've trained with some people that were absolutely amazing with a knife. If any of them went unstable it'd be a pretty terrifying thing. Yet it isn't like a KNIFE and a GUN are a Ouija board and a demon is jumping from them and possessing people. There are other factors. Getting rid of the tool they choose to use doesn't seem to address the actual factors at all.
Or a crossbow or even a modified air gun could do some serious damage. Or for that matter you could get a car and kill a hundred people in a few seconds if you wanted to.
Terrifying. I'd much rather worry about a guy running down the street with a gun.
Wow. That is scary but it doesn't look like it was anywhere near as bad as it could have been. The carnage created by cars on a daily basis is something we rarely hear about. I think it kills many more people. I'm not pro banning cars either though.
Yep. Banning is also rarely actually intended to solve the problem it claims to be. It creates a lucrative black market, and it is not unusual for the politicians pushing the bills to end up making a profit from it, or people lobbying them. It is much like INSIDER TRADING.
Or the drugs issue. Certain organisations may use that as a means of funding covert operations.
