Agreed.... of course, when a psycho walks into a school with an automatic weapon and mows down a bunch of kids the "tool" is not being misused. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Nobody has walked into a school with an automatic weapon.

If you would like to have a rational discussion, let's stick to facts.

Do you really think the difference between automatic and semi-automatic matters to the dead kids?

Nice appeal to emotion there, Min.

Tell it to the dead kids killed by their mother rolling over her SUV while texting.

See how that works?

It's an appeal to reality.

And that SUV has other uses besides running over people. That is a better example of a "tool" being used improperly.


In other news.....

I suppose we should be thankful that this fuckhead didn't have a gun.

And my firearms have other uses besides killing people.

That story is much more informative about the ills of our society than stories about firearms accidents.

Firearms' sole use is to injure and/or kill things. It's what they were created to do.

No further danger? As long as there are guns available for any nutjob to obtain, thanks to the insane NRA, then danger is ever present.

Killing animals... but I guess that's not why some folks carry them around... unless some people count as animals...
