it would be back to swords and arrows and that's way more bloody than a bullet.
Have you ever seen the affects of a .50 cal hollow point hitting something like a human head? It explodes, thats way bloodier than an arrow hitting a head.

Saying guns are bad is like saying a hammer is bad.
One could argue that modern guns are created as weapons and modern hammers are created as simple machines used for generic work around the house.
I really don't have a side in this debate, I just like arguing.

Okay, then lets use this example. Knives were created for fighting, but we use them to eat. When someone kills someone else with a knife, are knives bad? No, the use of something depends on the person.

We use guns to eat with, too. Otherwise, we would be eating live cows.

Very true. I was just pointing something out that people who are against guns might use, I still don't think guns are bad..
Really, anything can be used as a weapon, some things are just far more suited than others.

we went over this for a long time.
guns are not bad. the use they are remembered for is bad.
the protection of an easily accessible (yet safely kept) gun in your bedroom is an unmatchable asset to your family. sure, you have alarms, but the only thing that stops someone from breaking your window and killing you is their personal will.

Guns are neither good nor bad. It all depends on the user.
