p.s. stop acting like the only ones that die in car accidents are the driver of the crashed vehicles. innocent victims are in high numbers in that category. They were just trying to get to work or school then dead; innocent and oblivious to what happened and why. but you ignore this person's death? shame on you.
ban cars.

In 2009, 10,839 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (32%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.
Of the 1,314 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2009, 181 (14%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver.

So just because your weapon of choice (a gun) statistically kills less than another weapon of choice (a car), does that justify it's existence?
Was Saddam's regime justifiable because Hitler actually killed more innocent people than Saddam?

I really can't believe how this conversation keeps going in such circles, with a few people here just saying the same shit over and over and over, like it's going to make a damn bit of difference, or change another's mind. Go outside and step away from the computer, everyone.
@albums - we fucking get it. Cars can kill people. Holy shit, like really... you just gonna keep beating that drum? In two different threads? You said your piece, why do you have to KEEP reiterating?
- to work people up, that is his goal. take what he says like a joke and you'll laugh too :)Miguex

No sane person drives a car to kill people, some just happen to get killed in crashes. Guns are built to kill but they happened to save lives. I say ban both.

albums, I'm going to to agree with you... Guns should be treated just like cars. You're going to need to show proof of insurance before you buy one also they should tax them like the "gas guzzler" tax. If it can shoot more deadly rounds at a faster pace you'll be taxed more.

One of the things I found very unnerving when staying with my girlfriend in New jersey, where I believe there is control over firearms, was that you'd find guns in such random places.
I was over at a family friend of hers and we were sitting down to eat dinner. I went to the cutlery drawer to get myself a knife and fork and in the drawer was a big shiny handgun. As the drinks flowed I had the liquid courage to ask the question "Why do you have a gun in your drawer?". Their answer was simple and delivered with a very stern tone - "In case I need to have to shoot somebody". I asked if they thought about that eventuality and they said they thought about it all the time, if a door bangs loudly at night or if someone approaches them at an ATM.
I find this on constant alert worst-case-scenario paranoia incredibly scary. As far as I'm aware this person, and others I've met that casually own and use guns, have never faced a gun.
I've had a gun pulled on me once in a dodgy mob-run London club and I was scared shitless, but I've never wanted to carry a gun 'just in case'. I've also faced knives a few times - I don't want to carry a knife in self-defence.
The 'knives and cars kill people too' argument - I really hope you don't hold this view and you're just trolling. Knives are used in food preparation and eating. Cars are used for getting to places. Guns are there to kill things. There are guns that serve other purposes but handguns that are so prevalent in the USA are not designed for animal hunting at all. Hunting rifles are made for long range, steady use. Handguns are designed to be concealable and are less accurate over distance. They're for person-to-person over relatively short distance. They are made to kill people.
I think there must be something incredibly wrong with a place if it's people are stashing guns in kitchen drawers 'in case they need to kill someone'. The guy I spoke to about his kitchen drawer gun (which had the safety off, just sitting there - not sure if it was loaded) further justified his ownership by saying it was to protect his children.
Quite how putting a death-instrument within reach of a kid helps save their lives I don't know...
Hypocritical side to me - I own two .22 Air Rifles that are at my parents house as I used to do sport shooting on a target range. I also had to do 4 years part time cadets in school where I regularly used Cadet GPs (Single fire versions of the SA80).

speakin like a terrorist lover,- ...and the intelligent comments end here. Back to the trolling we go.jfletcher
- ooooh let's save the fuckn world sitting in front of our computer screen,
pompous much? :)GeorgesII - Better not have a good point or you will get shot down...MrT
- we're not saving the world... but having an intelligent conversation might actually be nice.jfletcher
- Having an open mind, discussing the issues. But you're right. Let's regress to being trolls. That always helps.jfletcher
- that's how things get better. By being ignorant and arrogant. Keep on trollin. I'm sure life is great for you :)jfletcher
- when the shit hits the fan,
I'll be with the trolls, intelligent internet persona bored the shit outta me, look look I'm smartGeorgesII - yes, it must be boring to think... it's easier to complain blindly with myopic beliefs.jfletcher
