Heh, I am glad I can help. Laughing adds year to your life. Or does it prevent your hair from falling out..It might make you less likely to become a dictator of a third-world nations. Either way, it is a good thing.
Hunting is not an issue. We can revert back to older weapons. Which reminds me. Good people will not have guns for fun. Bad people will still have weapons, if guns spontaniously dissapear. If they were outlawed, it would be just like Devoidless said. We can get rid of all weapons, but you can make a crossbow out of paper. It makes no sense because those with a will to kill will do so. You can break someone's neck with your hands.
I think that the issue of the second amendment is a bit touchy for a lot of people...especially in my redneck town. They like their guns.
While I see what many of you are saying when you state that people WILL kill each other with or without guns, I think it is still fairly fallacious to say that there is no difference in a person trying to kill someone with their bare hands and having a gun to do it.
The question according to the law is not whether to have control of arms, but how strictly to control them. No one objects to preventing person being barred from owning a nuclear bomb in their basement because they realize that it is dangerous and unnecessary. I, personally, see no need for automatic weapons and have no problem with bans on them. Bans on hunting rifle and stuff are unnecessary. Those are, for better or worse, part of our culture. I'm fine with those.
Let's just stop the unreasonable and unnecessary from being SO easy to obtain. Although there will still be crazy murderers, it will be more difficult for a person to grab one on an impulse. It's a small failsafe, but anything is helpful, in my opinion.
less guns would make things slightly safer, but there are other ways to kill someone. Having a gun for protection is somethng i dont know about though. There are some ups and downs.
All automatic weapons are not banned to the public in the US. Gun control laws vary more one the state and county levels more than the federal level. There is a county in Kentucky I believe where almost any gun is legal, providing you have the right permits. The guns range from pistols to gattling guns. On a less extreme level, there are people who live around me that legally own AK-47s and M-16s.
I would like to think that stricter gun laws would help, but people are always going to find weapons or make them. Mississippi's gun laws (along with all of our laws) are weak. It is completely legal to own things like AK-47s like Devoid said. But these backwoods rednecks have sawed off double barrel shotguns and even .50 cal sniper rifles. I shot that once and it cleared my sinuses.
Oh, the loverly .50 cal weapons. Always a thrill. I remember firing a .50 cal muzzle loaded rifle. Helluva weapon.
Even though I realize that if people get weapons like AK-47 and the like, the potential to do bad things arise. But that does not mean it is going to happen. Some people just like collecting the weapons and firing them off because they are pieces of history. Or, you know, just really fun to shoot at fruits with. Teaches the fruits that you do not need all 2-4 servings of fruit because you have big guns, and they do not.
Oh, of course. Then the shooting of the fruit represents explosive energy that the Lord required to make the universe. And after the shooting is done, an amazing fruit salad with a ginger-honey dressing can be made and served with breakfast.
