By that reasoning.......
“Hydrogen bombs don’t kill people — people kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they’re going to think twice about breaking in.”
Art Buchwald (1925-2007)
Actually, I think they might have helped in Norway recently.
The problem is this, firearms were originally designed to make killing more efficient, now we have taken them and used them for sports, much like other weapons, I would rather watch athletics than archery, javelin etc.
The problem I have with firearms is this: we now live in a society that glamourises firearms, gansta rap, movies, you tube videos of people shooting.
I am not bringing emotions into this, I have no reason to do so.
Simply put, people will kill each other, no matter what we do, but the advent of guns makes it a whole lot easier to do so, as I said earlier
