What I think personally? I think that all guns should be destroyed. Each and every one is a weapon of murder. Shooting holes in cans serves no practical purpose. Knives can be used for cooking et al. (practical purposes) and cars can be used to get from point A to point B, also practical purposes.
But that's my line of thinking, perhaps not yours. Let's use yours instead. How about we use the favourite amongst gun lovers:
"It's not the gun that kills .... it's the person using it." There is some obvious logic to that, we MUST agree, right? Well, if it's the person holding the gun that kills then I suggest that citizens ought to be allowed to own fire arms in every country in the Western World except for the US. I mean, just look at how many Americans are murdering one another with fire arms!
again...try to think this time....
Which is deadlier in this country...the rifle used in Sandy Hook, or the knife?
Rifles with magazines....162 dead over 34 years.
knives...1,500 dead every single year.
Another stat genius...according to the bill clinton Department of Justice Study on gun self defense....Americans use guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop violent criminal attack and to save lives, many times stopping mass public shootings like what happened at Sandy Hook.....
gun murder 2015.... 9,616
1,500,000 crimes stopped and lives saved.... v. 9,616 gun murders....90% of which are committed by people who cannot legally buy, own or carry guns.
Can you tell the difference in these numbers?
