The only things guns are good for are...
  • Taking life.
  • Wielding a false sense of control.
  • Causing terror.
  • Increasing war and violence.
  • Making cash for gun companies and special interest groups.
  • Destroying the pride of humanity.
But I digress...

Seriously?

Self defense against animal threat
Self defense against human threat
Shooting sports (e.g. trap, skeet, target competition)

I live where there are dangerous animals (e.g. bear, coyote, coywolf) and rabid animals (e.g. raccoons, foxes).
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

=Taking life. The fact that it may be in defense is beside the point.

Have you ever tried to commune with these 'dangerous' animals to develop a relationship where fear and death are not the only features? Once upon a time I had many guns - I no longer need them.
