Furthermore, guns are designed for no other purpose than killing people. (You can also kill innocent wildlife with them, but that's a sick pastime). To sum up, this "guns don't kill people" stuff is completely wrong. It's just stupid NRA propaganda intended to appeal to stupid people. ::issues heavy sigh, like I use when talking to a slow child:: Truth as you choose to wrongly call yourself, Guns do not kill people. The damage done to the body by the transference of energy from a copper coated lead projectile which is fired from a gun at high velocity kills people. Look your argument is academic. I own several guns. They have not killed anybody! Do I need to be on the lookout for them to rebel one night and go on a shooting spree? Will they suddenly burst out of their holsters and cases and run down the street and shot my neighbor or my children? No it would take ill intentions on someones part to use my weapons in that manner. It would be a decision made by a lifeform with higher intelligence than the cold piece of steel and platic polymers my guns are made of. So it would be a conscience decision by a sentient being, a human being, MAN. Therefore, the decision to kill is made by MAN. How it is accomplished is usually the most expedient except for those of the psycopathic persuasion. A gun is very expedient, however if it is not available, there are plenty of ways. Are you going to go after all forms of items capable of being used to kill? Good Luck Quixote because you wil be busy. Also the NRA is made of of millions of individuals who form a whole living and thinking group that is assured it is acting in the good fatih of the Constitution. The Gov't is blatantly against this document right now. So when you people like to say the NRA and conjure up images of some nameless faceless terrible institution, it is not so. It is simply me and my brothers and my neighbors and your neighbors banding together to fight a so called President who is pushing a personal agenda.
