Are you bored ?
Between your replies in the poaching thread, the "3d printed guns" thread, and now this, I am trying to figure out if you are just plain bored, high on some strange drug, or screwed up enough to only want to stir shit and start "contentious" threads ?
:wtfsmilie:
Clever
I actually agree with the "guns don't kill people" philosophy. They don't. People do. We're all agreeing most (but unfortunately not all) fatalities were avoidable.
Cars, liquor, knives and a host of other 'killers' don't either. The human holding said item does.
Si
Yes ebf, but listen to gimp......
Utes been at the panel shop and now it's at the garage.
Still here gimp.....
I'm supposed to be off up to Tim's reallll shortly
Guns dont kill people, jon la joe does.

Yea right, we should all just sit back and smile ? Bit too PC for me, I'm afraid :)
I'm probably having a bad hair day, but constant drivel like this just makes firearm owners and enthusiasts look like a bunch of redneck retards. If that is what WH is trying to achieve, he is doing a great job.
Toby, I'm never getting those 5 minutes of my life back :D
Interesting point ebf.
Yet we discuss issues like this on NON hunting forum with several million people (not fb) and can get an actual interesting dialogue going with several points of view. Same goes for the 3D printing thread, but then the people I speak with there aren't as close minded and are a little (lot) more tech minded, as some are around here. Go figure.
Do anti gun people really think crime would even romotely decrease if all guns everywhere were banned? people have been killing each other for hundreds of thousands of years and I'm sure if you go through time they take up a very small percentage of human on human fatalities.
People will kill people whether they're using a semi auto 223, a tea spoon, a sharpened tooth brush or just their bare hands nothing can change that.
For my two cents worth (bloody inflation it used to be a penny's worth back in the day) the title of this thread is an absolute truth.
It's the nut behind the butt.
I leave my firearms in a steel box. A form of solitary confinement in the hope that when they come out, they will kill the first deer they see
Rushy - how was your Kaimais hunt?
Preaching to the converted BH :D
The argument is way too one dimensional though...
On the flip side you can't argue that a semi auto rifle is not a more effective weapon than a baseball bat. Some of the gun nut fraternity love hauling out the tired old argument that vehicles kill more people envy year. Same argument applies, it is the nut behind the steering wheel.
And last time I checked, soldiers all over the were still being issued with semi auto rifles with high cap mags (not baseball bats or vw beetles), quite simply because it is the most effective individual weapon system the human race has come up with so far... Which would you rather face, a nutcase armed with a flintlock or a nutcase armed with an AR and a couple of high cap mags ?
Base ball bat could probably be just as lethal if you are on the receiving end of it and have nothing to defend yourself with
technically it is the impact of the bullet that does the killing, not the gun. :P
Guns don't kill people, bullets do.
Bullets don't kill people, the injuries they cause do.
I like the quote out of 'Collateral'. "you killed him", "No, I shot him, bullets and the fall killed him."
"Do anti gun people really think crime would even romotely decrease if all guns everywhere were banned?" Yes I think they do, but really you are talking of lilly liberals, even jumping out of planes for sport or fun should also be banned....or anything remotely FUN.
Their mind set is quite simple IMHO, they think of themselves as superior and of good taste and therefore deserve to be in charge looking after the rest of us for our own good as we are really naughty children who'd get into trouble or injury ourselves. The fact the rest of us would be so bored with a life in cotton wool that we'd queue to jump under the nearest train is neither here nor there. We'd have to be quick as trains would get banned of course.
About as relevant as any other dribble on this thread, just more classic
