BULLETS kill people. The technicality YOU rely on to suggest otherwise is absurd.

No.....that's simply another technicality that is almost identical to the first technicality I talked about. Unless, of course, you're talking about shoving a 22 bullet into a straw and then throwing it at the wall to fire it or something.
I'd also like to point out that a person who claims to be a connoiseur of paper-thin tomato slices yet believes that ginsu knives are worth the paper-thin tomato slices they can allegedly cut cannot be trusted. What is your postition man? Do you believe ginsu knives are truly capable of said feat?
And Seamonky....there's a lot of faulty logic in your bathtub and swimming pool post. You really ought to go back and read that. I'm not saying that you have nothing valid to say, but your argument needs some serious work.

Finally, I'd like to see a study of many people have died unnecessarily from guns compared to the amount of people that actually "defended" themselves with guns. I bet that more people have been killed unnecessarily/accidentally than the number of people that have actually defended themselves from life threatening situations.

Your wish is my command
This article actually quotes multiple studies.
More than one study claims that there are 2.73 million defensive gun users. I am in that statistic. I stopped a man from raping my sister.

I'm glad you stopped a rape. But, was is really necesarry to have a gun to do so? I don't have guns, but if i saw some dude attacking a woman, I'd jump on him and beat his ass. I don't need a gun to intervene.
PS- the info in that link is 10 or more years old.

Guns WERE CREATED TO KILL.
That is their purpose. That is a fact.

Patently false. Guns were created for people to USE them as ANOTHER means by which to defend themselves, and to do so easier than the old method. Sometimes, in doing so, people died.
Also, you completely ignored the fact that guns were NOT created to kill, BULLETS were. Guns are merely the delivery method which has proved most effective, as throwing them at people has very little consequence other than to REALLY piss people off, at which point, they would stab you.

Wow. You have got to be kidding me. "Bullets kill people"? LOl. Bullets are part of the gun. They go hand in hand. One is useless without the other.
So if i get run over by a car, I guess the tires killed me, not the car or the driver, right? lol
