I Think Guns Don't Kill People ,people Kill People [Pro Gun]

"Inanimate Objects"

Guns, like all other inanimate objects such as cars, knives and clubs, do not just deiced to jump up and kill or injure someone. The hand gun in someone's night stand or the long gun in the coat closet by the door don't kill people. The same goes for the knife in the kitchen drawer or the car in the garage. The baseball bat in the locker room or the tire iron in the trunk are not murderers either. It takes human will and human hands to animate these lifeless and passive objects. What these objects do depends on the person using them and that individual's motives, intent and actions.

Of course it is a lot easier to kill someone with a firearm. Having firearms in the hands of irresponsible people is the real problem. Nobody needs a firearm, so I don't see the point in having one.

@gmatthewb No one needs a tennis racket either.

Just because you don't see the point of having firearms does not mean that the rest of us shouldn't have them.

@HoraceGreenley I don't have any need for a tennis racket, so would be silly for me to have one of those too. Nobody 'should' have one either. It is just the choice you make to have one.

@gmatthewb I don't see the point of you having an internet connection but I wouldn't ban it.
HoraceGreenley · 61-69, M
@gmatthewb Just like firearms.
gmatthewb · 51-55, M
@MasterLee Right...and the internet and firearms are related. That's about as silly as any of the arguments about having firearms. Have all the firearms you want. Just because I think it is silly of anyone to have a firearm doesn't mean I think they should be banned. A lot of firearms that are available should be banned though and there should be much more strict rules as to who can have them. Again, my opinion.

@gmatthewb I would venture the internet kills more people every year through terrorism and terrorist funding than any firearm.

@gmatthewb
Whether people should have guns or not is not the point of this post. I fundamentally disagree with you of course but as I said, that is beside the point.
