    Well thats quite a bit of rhetoric. My guns have never killed anyone; most guns in America have never been used to break the law in any way. Kind of hard to say that their main use is to kill.

    So you just do target practice? Then, a second question... Have you ever shot toward a target shaped like a human? Or a target shaped like an Animal?

    You're practicing to be a more lethal shot. If you havn't gotten the chance to kill with yours yet, thats a different story. Doesn't change the fact that guns are designed to kill.

    I wasn't really referring to this specific article. If you're not outraged by the fact they lied to lead your country into an illegal war and occupation, they paid private contractors to do it and sacrificed American lives for profit, they passed illegal law after illegal law, authorizing illegal wiretaps against American citizens, and repeatedly attacked the education and scientific institutes of the United States, then you're half asleep.
