Do guns kill people?

Post Reply New Topic

The absence of guns wouldn't stop all forms of murder so let's use the perfect solution fallacy!

alcohol has something to do with it, actually. https://www.scientificamerican.com/arti ... shootings/

as do a history of violent crime or domestic violence.

what I don't think has been discussed much about this situation, is how this could be symptomatic of a need for power that a lot of people here in amuuurica, have. the people who accumulate firepower seem to have, for want of better words, a greed for power.

And nukes don't kill people either.

People kill people!

If Kim Jong Un wants nukes we should just let him. In fact we should make money selling him more nukes!

Because nukes don't kill people. People kill people.

Obviously the absence of nukes wouldn't stop of Kim from slaughtering Americans (if he really wants to kill Americans).

With nukes he could shoot a rocket across the Pacific and take out an American city with a Hiroshima type bomb that will kill 100 thousand American civilians.

Without nukes Kim could just swim across pacific with waterwings, and then walk down the streets of Seattle, and walk up to 100 thousand individual Americans, and .....one by one...garrote each one of them with his neck tie! So the end result would be the same.

I mean...what do you propose? Banning NECK TIES! If you are against the proliferation of nukes, then you ALSO have to be against the proliferation of neck ties!

The same with school shootings.

Folks are hysterical about how an insane kid with AR15 can mow down dozens. But if that same kid were armed with a muzzle loading matchlock musket from the 16th century that took an entire minute between single rounds the body count would have been the same. The perp would just have to ask his victims to politely stand still, and not run away and hide, while he puts powder into the muzzle of the gun, and then puts paper around the musket ball, and then jams the musket ball down the muzzle with the long metal stick, and then pulls the stick back out of the muzzle, and then finally aims his next shot. Any one of his victims would politely ccoperate, and would politely and patiently hang around, and play pinochle, while he reloads his musket, and politely wait to be shot next! Wouldn't you?

Technically, yes. A gun is used as a weapon to kill people. However, guns don't have free will. People are in control of them.

A lot of things can kill people besides guns.

Guns make it easier for someone to kill someone

Guns themselves, do not kill anyone

Sometimes someone kills someone with a different method, that doesn't involve guns

Only when triggered.

lol.

^^^that qualified IMHO as among the blackest of black humor.

Guns don't kill people. Liberals kill people.

this liberal never killed anybody and doesn't foresee it happening in this lifetime. god-willing.

You don't kill people? Them's fighten' words!
