Quote:@ RJ, as was pointed out to my company when I was in the Australian Army Reserves. The sole intent of a gun is to kill, nothing else(this point was made by our sergeant, a professional soldier).
So when lots of devices whose designed purpose is to kill are held by lots of people whose I.Q can be measured on the fingers of one hand, expect consequences.
Well of COURSE he is going to say that. He is military, he is training you to kill, period.
In reality guns can be used for much more reasons than to "kill kill kill...blood blood blood". Lets try not to be over simplistic here by saying it is only for killing. Lets be specific okay, and realistic.
Rifle - I can use it kill..yes. I can also use it to wound and take prisoners, I can use it to protect myself from knives, fists, and other blunt objects. I can attach a knife to it to stab, or cut, or intimidate. I can use it to help me walk up hills or pull myself up steep inclines. I can use the but to kill snakes, or other small and dangerous creatures...man, I can just keep going and going on all of the uses this tool can give me...especially hunting for food.
Pistol - Kill..DUH! I can pistol whip the fuck out of you and put you on your ass (what???? Using a pistol without killing people? Kind of screws up the entire off topic point many of you have been trying to make). I can use rubber bullets and protect myself without lethal force, I can use tear gas bullets and protect myself without lethal force... intimidation factor..
I mean, come on people...I didnt even try hard to come up with that list. This is supposed to be a "dome of rational thinking" on this forum. So why do I keep seeing "guns = lethal force<> therefore ban them"
They have very small six or 4 shooter revolvers that have teargas spray in them. Hold it to the face of your attacker, pull the trigger, BLAM eyes full of tear gas.*
*for those of you who are not ninja experts in the prime of their lives
Plastic trash bags - used for trash. Also used by gangsters to suffocate people to death. Trashbags are also used to store decapitated heads and body parts to bury after a murder. They are also used for getting rid of unwanted babies, disposing of illegal contraban, and storing stolen cash from a bank robbery. Trash bags are also used to carry large amounts of drugs across the border, and if floating in the ocean can be mistaken as jelly fish by turtles and choke them to death. Trash bags are easily concealed and are sometimes found in rapists "rape kits" to dispose of evidence.

I agree Sae. That was my original first post on this topic to begin with. I dont disagree with this law. I just have some questions about its timing.
Ah yes....the greater good!! Christian moralistic sanctimonious bullshit
