Any weapon can be used for self defense. Just because I shoot someone, doesn't mean they are going to die.

If they are trying to harm other people for personal gain, no matter the reason, they pretty much deserve what is coming to them anyways.

I respectfully disagree.

Well, your logic is flawed then. Sorry.

I dont think so. Its true that any weapon can be used in self defense. But a gun is made for only one purpose, to kill. To make it easy to kill. Thats it, nothing else.

It depends on where you aim. It's the people doing the killing, not the weapon. Everything is simply a tool.

Besides, sometimes you have to kill somebody to defend yourself.

You can kill with your bare hands but you use them for many things. You can beat someone with a bat but it is made for a sport. You can burn someone in a fire but fire has many uses as well as the devices used to start a fire. You can beat someone with a wrench but it is built for fixing many things. Or you can shoot someone with a gun which is made for.......nope, just made to make it easier to kill someone. A gun is not a tool.

Point taken. But it's still a tool.

Tool. Noun: A device or implement, esp. one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function.

"One held in hand" You are still the killer. The gun is just a means of doing it easier, yes. But hell, some guns are sturdy enough to be used as a hammer. And, without guns, people living in wild regions of the earth, would have a much harder time feeding themselves and their family.

Of course you are still the killer. Someone who wants to kill someone else will do it no matter by what means, guns just make it easy. Guns are also useful and have there place and purpose. I dont think guns shouldnt exist but I do think it shouldnt be so very easy to legally get your hands on one. The accessabiity ties directly to gun related crime. I feel like if it was a little harder to get a gun maybe we would see a difference in gun wounds and deaths.

As I saw somewhere else in the comments section, there is a huge black market for guns. Making it harder for citizens to get guns wouldn't change anything. We would only see the increase in deaths of innocence. Since an average Joe couldn't pick up a gun and use it if he needed to as easily.

True. Punishments would also be harsher to those who had guns illegally. Not to mention all the accidental deaths that happen every year because idiots are handed a gun when they ask for it. Leaving it out for children or doing something stupid with it themselves.

Even though an accidental death is sad, I really don't feel to badly for the adults that accidentally fuck up with there gun. I just can't. The gun fires in one direction, it's entirely their fault of they shoot someone, or themselves with it.

And it's just really bad parenting if a kid gets a hold of it somehow. They shouldn't have had kids or a gun. But it's still there fault.

I kind of have this complete resentment of alcohol. I loathe it, no matter what the form. *Except for cleaning alcohol, of course* And I don't think anyone should have it. Even if they are responsible with it, because then, that creates more profit for the producers, and then they make more for irresponsible people.

Well, the same can easily be said about guns. So I've been learning to repress those feelings.

So honestly, you kind of either have to be a purest, or be human and realize that, people are stupid. And we aren't going to have a perfect world. So, I'd rather grab a gun and protect myself.

Your point is valid. Not that I feel so strongly about guns as you do alcohol but still valid. This is all speculation on my part. I dont know for a fact that making it harder to get a gun would make gun related crime go down. No one would know unless it was actually tried, same with other proposals. But if it could save some lives it would be worth it. Maybe having a gun makes you feel safer just not for me. I couldnt see myself carrying a gun with me where ever I go, even though I have a mossy and more at home.

Thank you very much, kind sir.

As a girl, you can still act out your peeing fetish, it is just a little more challenging, either need to be somewhere high up, or you'll need to tackle them first.

Or use a tube.

True.. they even have this thing they invented so a girl can pee standing up..

same, almost felt like linking this

Serious.
