People who have guns are citizens and people who have no guns are subjecte.

Man has walked the face of the earth for millions of years and has yet to design a religian or a government that he could trust.

People who have guns use them, sometimes when it is not necessary.
People who don't have guns, seek peaceful solutions.
People who have guns in this world are told what to do by people who don't have guns. Just look at our Government.

Your not supposed to trust your Government, but are always supposed to be questioning them. It's a check and balances.

Religion is supposed to be about your relationship to God. If you can't trust that, then that is your issue.

And with your tax dollars.

Religians are man made revenue enhansing intetutions.

I completely forgot that it is only possible to kill someone with a firearm. In no way can a person die from wounds inflicted upon them with a knife, baseball bat or even a pencil.

Gus don't kill people. People kill people.

I agree. You will never be rid of murder until you are rid of evil. And, you will never be rid of guns until you rid the desire for them.

Might as well post this in current events if you are going to pass up the gun control forum...

A gun free scciety should begin with disarming the government.

That's a perfect solution to that pesky never-been-invaded-by-a-foriegn-army problem we have been having.

Seriously, I am going to do some serious damage with that nail clipper that I am not allowed to take in my carry-on on a plane. You better hope I don't get pissed off.

On a serious note, I do agree with you that people kill people, guns just make it a whole lot easier. Try to get up the courage to hit some one enough times or hard enough to kill them with a baseball bat. With a gun, all you have to do is pull the trigger.

The only guns people should be allowed to have are muskets. That would cut down on heat of the moment shootings (Would you stand around and wait for someone to load a musket so they could shoot you?). There would probably less drive-by's (Size would be a pain in a car). Also, I think it would make hunting alot more interesting. You only have one shot at that bear and it better be a good one or you're gonna be left un-armed near a ticked off bear. Then hunting would actually be a sport. Chris Rock had some pretty good ideas on this.
