Why were guns invented and did the person not mind all the deaths that would come with the invention ?

It was probably root hog or die back in those days the inventor might have got a sack of sugar and a stubborn ol mule.

well like any tool it can be used for good and evil but that is like saying did the person who made the club mind all the deaths from clubs

@Firespirit: it's not the same clubs are not weapons that on serve the purpose of either killing or injuring badly.

@Pureblossom: A club is used to kill and injure also

In case no one has already, I'll trot out the lounge that always gets trotted out about now... Things don't kill people, people do ... It was wrong the first time it was used and it's still wrong

Why were cars and vans invented, they kill just as many or more people than guns
Pureblossom · 22-25, F
@Tminus6453: Cars were designed to make people's life easier.Instead of taking hours or days to get somewhere cars and vans a what you call progress.The deaths were they are involved are usualy because of human error and are accidents.

Guns, on the other hand, serve the purpose of either killing or injuring badly.

@Pureblossom: It doesnt matter, people still use cars for killing people, especially muslim terrorist, and knives too...Guns dont kill, people do and guns were invented for protection and hunting,and if i didnt have my gun 5 months ago i could have been killed by the asshole who tried breaking into my house

Well, the protection side I don't disagree with as I have grown older I've realized that even though most anything could be used for self-defense guns give you a better chance.

however, that still lives this question unanswered, which what I was really curious about.Since mankind tends to end up feeling guilty even just a little for harmful actions whether justified or not.

I sometimes wonder what people who helped develop the bombs that dropped on Japan feel? Im not sure if he would feel bad or not. Perhaps As he aged or in his final years? Perhaps he thought maybe having those weapons helped expand his nation? Maybe the wars were shorter? I feel like if he saw the raid firing guns of today and the culture of this era it might effect him more.

What about knifes, arrows, and a big rock? All effective.
Pureblossom · 22-25, F
@jackson55: Knifes original purpose was not to harm I don't think, it's useful to cut stuff in the kitchen.That's why people can buy them easily.A big rock is just a rock it only becomes a weapon when someone uses it as such. Guns only serve the purpose of either killing or injuring badly.

And the arrows were they not meant for hunting at first.

@Pureblossom: I think you just filled the dumb quota for tomorrow too.

Gun were invented when people got tired of bows and arrows.

Oh please ! Why does liberalism exist ?
Pureblossom · 22-25, F
@TexChik: This is not liberalism I'm just genuinely wondering, trying to understand a thought process and morality of the inventor. And most of all wondering if after seeing what his invention had done did he ever feel guilty or okay with it.

Call it psychology perhaps.

What about those damn cars too?
Pureblossom · 22-25, F
@Jackaloftheazuresand: Cars were designed to make people's life easier.Instead of taking hours or days to get somewhere cars and vans a what you call progress.The deaths were they are involved are usually because of human error and are accidents.

@Pureblossom: And guns used against other people aren't? A normal person doesn't just shoot people.
