To quote a famous comedian who just died:
"I could kill a stewardess with a plastic knife. In fact, I could kill a stewardess with my bare hands, well, I have really big hands. I could probably kill two stewardesses at the same time..."
Eventuallyl everything is a weapon you could kill someone with.

Because they can kill me 😕
The roads are already dangerous enough in peak traffic and I don't want irate drivers to potentially have the means of slinging metal projectiles at each other...
If there were no guns, I would have had to waste more time strangling him.

I agree with you up to a point. Our old neighbours went on honeymoon to Africa and at the petrol station he went in the pay the bill and she watched two men argue pointing guns at eachother over a can of coke.
Originally posted by CrowleyYes that's a simple idea, but that ship has sailed. We do have guns everywhere and passing gun laws requiring every one to turn them in will only disarm the law abiding.
He wasn't talking about gun laws. He said guns, in general, are bad. And he's right.
If we didn't have guns everywhere then we wouldn't need guns for 'protection' and neither would we need gun laws.
It's actually pretty simple.
That too is really quite simple.

Originally posted by ThomasterRiddle me this Batman: In the United States, every city where they've banned guns, the crime has gone up. Conversely, every state that has passed conceal and carry laws, the crime has gone down. Why is that?
That is the problem, you and your family are saver, but the US don't.
If nobody had a gun, the US would be saver, so you would be saver too.
Only because guns are allowed, you need one.
