ask the families of the victims of Batman 3 premiere ,that guy thought he own their lifes for several minutes (maybe he had those guns as a sport too), of course if he would have a knife or a hammer wouldn't kill so many people in a short period of time ,BTW I forgot this is one of many shooting cases in USA

Many people (myself included) use firearms to put food on the table.......call it a sport if you'd like to, but many actually rely on guns to feed themselves around here. Without guns families would starve....."evil" is a pretty big stretch when you look at it from a different perspective

Guns are not the problem. People are the problem, and if they'd let us settle things the old fashioned way criminals may think twice

Woah guys, did not mean to start a debate here.
Here in the states in places like where I come from owning multiple guns is extremely common. We hunt with them, we own them for the history, we own them because we like them, and we own them because for some it is something expected as in a tradition.

For me, it is most definitely all of the above. ALL of my male friends, ALL of my dad's friends, and the vast majority of males living in my town have an arsenal. Yet we ALL deeply respect the lethality they have and ALWAYS exercise safety when handling them.

To us, owning a gun is like owning a car. Cars I might add kill far more people than guns... as does cholesterol...

Take my 10/22, it was a gift from my grandfather who was an engineer for Chrysler for 20years. My 17HMR, a gift from my dad. My dad wants to pass his guns down to me and me to pass them down to my future son if I have one. Its a tradition.

You may have heard on the news about a southern California man put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel.

But wouldn't the World be a much better place if everyone had Pointy Sticks, instead of Very Big Guns...

..and just used them to spear Marshmallows to roast over a nice warm fire, to share with your fellow brothers and sisters, in peace, harmony, and goodwill...

No, Foz... rather, bayonets which aren't susceptible to flames and don't splinter...
Of course, my .22s didn't have bayonets but it was fun splattering marshmellows, skipping cans, etc.
There was an incident, of which I'm not particularly proud, when there was one death to my count, with my .22 Remington bolt-action long barrel: he'd stolen his last apple out of our Golden Delicious trees when I shot a bullet through a porcupine's head.

Plus I can't live on marshmellows.....and it's really really difficult to hunt game animals with sticks.

Especially when a buck's sticks are bigger than yours.

Would you like to repeat that again, very slowly, very clearly, and very precisely... ... ...!
