Guns don't kill people bullets do

Bullets doesn't kill unless fired from a firearm. Firearms doesn't kill unless in the hands of a killer. The easier they get them, the easier they can kill using bullets.

[quote][b]9. Guns are tools that can kill, just like knives, and we’re not banning knives are we?[/b]

In the wake of the massacre of children in Newtown, Congressman and alleged human being Louie Gohmert said “I refuse to play the game of ‘assault weapon.’* That’s any weapon. It’s a hammer. It’s the machetes. In Rwanda that killed 800,000 people, an article that came out this week, the massive number that are killed with hammers.”

*side note: the term “assault weapon” is one that sounds specific, but really isn’t. If we’re talking about automatic weapons, those are virtually impossible to obtain—although there are attachments that enable semiautomatics to function like automatics, which is what might have happened in Las Vegas. Saying that we should ban all assault weapons isn’t very specific, as all it takes is a modification or two for a gun to slip in and out of that amorphous definition. Those of us in favor of gun control must learn more about guns in order to make more effective arguments.

Las Vegas provided the clearest indication yet of how ridiculous this analogy is. Guns are a special type of tool, because even though they can also be used to murder people, they can’t be used to chop vegetables. Guns have a more specific killing utility than knives, so until machetes can be used to murder people from hundreds of yards away, comparing them to guns is like saying a bicycle is the same thing as a truck. Sure, technically they both could be used to mow down innocent people, but only one makes it easy enough for anyone to do it.

As Chris Rock says. “ we don’t need gun control, we need bullet control!, instead of a gun being $5000 dollars, a bullet should cost $5000, why? So there will be no dying innocent bystanders. imagine you saw a bloke with 13 bulletholes, damn he must have pissed someone right off he has $50,000 worth of bullets in his ass!”.
