Thread: Guns don't kill people

Toby, I'm never getting those 5 minutes of my life back

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.

You don't need to convince us

This clipping is just a bad joke of a strawman argument though.

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?

I am absolutely looking forward to that Neckshot, even if it is a long way off yet.

It was Minginui but to answer it was an absolute fucking fizzer as they were not roaring. I will be going back down two weekends from now.

Preaching to the converted BH

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.

Yup, you're absolutely correct. As could a screwdriver, brick, spade, and just about anything else...

But that is not really the point is it ?
