Comparing cars to guns is very dishonest. Cars are primarily used for transportation, and can kill people in some situations. Guns are for killing [people or animals], period.
The oft cited Chicago example is also extremely dishonest, because most of the violence is gang related which is a completely different problem. The guns in this case DID kill the people involved..at the point when people are using bomb recipes on the internet to commit mass murders, we can also address that problem, but guns DO kill people, and they really should be taken out of civilian hands.
- readme 14y agoSo, why should a police officer be trusted with a gun any more than a private citizen with equivalent firearms training , education, and licensure? To advocate this, I'd hope you'd also advocate taking guns away from cops, because honestly they're not much different than you and I, with the exception of a sense of authority handed to them by the state which most of them certainly do not deserve. Furthermore, you'd trust a soldier with a gun, but not a civilian? Many civilians are far more likely to be responsible with a gun than a soldier. A lot of our soldiers are 18 year old kids who join the army because they think it will be like call of duty. Perhaps they should not have guns either. Since you're pointing out errors, I'm going to point out yours. Please tell me a time in history where a gun killed someone all by itself -- "Guns do kill people"
