actually, the only argument being put forward by the left is that guns kill people just by laying around. Or what do you think the whole "fewer guns = fewer shootings" argument equates to?You are projecting a purpose onto a gun that simply does not exist.Yes, thankfully. Your firearm is designed to kill just the same.
No, it isn't. Based on your rational then cars, which are far fewer in number, and kill far more people were designed only to kill. In the USA there are over 300,000,000 firearms, and they kill (through all reasons, legal, and illegal) 30,000 per year. There are 263 million cars in the USA and they kill 1,300,000 per year. So, based on numbers alone it is clear that cars are only designed to kill people because they sure do it a hell of a lot more.
Shocker, your logic is flawed.
More people own cars than guns, it's just that people who own guns own a lot.
Also, even if one does not own a gun more Americans interact with cars whether as a passenger, driver or pedestrian than they encounter guns.
I mean, Jesus Christ people, pull your heads out of your asses and try to make a rational argument. A car is designed for transportation, not to kill.
Guns, are not designed for anything else but to shoot a projectile at a high velocity, not to penetrate a paper target but to cut through a living being.
If you really want to own a gun that is not meant for this purpose I have one option for you:
![]()
Your argument is also flawed in that ownership of a gun is a natural right, ownership of a car is not. It doesn't matter how many or how few own or use either.
No, the only argument I see that a gun is not designed to kill is it's used for target practice. However many military firearms are only used in target practice, but that isn't the reason the military has firearms.
Nobody has argued that guns kill people just by laying around.
My guns have killed far fewer people than Ted Kennedy's car.
Technically it was the water that killed someone but who am I to get in the way of a very forced analogy.
