I disagree.
I own guns, as my father did before me and his father before him. All my brothers own guns. We're sportsmen, hunting is a popular recreation where we live.
Of all the guns in my family, not one has ever hurt a human being. Not a single incident, over many decades and who knows how many shots fired.
I have many friends with the same situation-- I don't know of anyone who has ever shot another human being. Not a single one.
The problem is the dramatic drop in respect for other people and their lives. Some people have lost respect, they are dangerous. It's not the gun's fault.
- Tepix 7y agoGuns are so dangerous, is it really worth it just to have "a popular recreation"?
- blaser-waffle 7y agoCars are so dangerous. Is it really worth it just to have a popular recreation like racing? Why don't we just ban cars? In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 crashes, 30,296 deadly, killing 32,999, and injuring 2,239,000. There are a roughly similar amount of fatalities related to guns, though more than 50% of those are suicides.
