This post is lame. What thrill do people get out of seeing people respond to their stupid questions?

Guns are not dangerous, guns don't just shoot other people, leave a gun in your house and it will not kill you.
just like a knife is not dangerous or a car or any other object, its the person holding them or controlling them that makes them dangerous.
I never heard or seen a gun kill someone on its own,
People kill or shoot people with guns,knives,hammers,sticks,rocks cars etc.

So is a rock, a baseball bat, a knife, a pipe wrench, a chair, a skateboard.

Sorry, but being from NYC I shy away from disclosing what kind of security or lack thereof I possess no matter what assurances I get regarding confidentiality.

Yes, I own a gun and I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use it if I felt my life, or the life of anyone I love or know, was in danger. Anyone that says otherwise is delusional.

Oddly the facts show that many times the gun Owner ends up shooting them self.

The facts do not bear out that owning a gun gives you any extra protection or safety.

America believes the second amendment was written to allow them to have a hand gun in a purse. The second amendment was never intended to be used as it is today.

I am sure the founders would be horrified as to how it all worked out.

"facts show" does not equate to facts.
