Shooting a 9mm is fun and you don't have to shoot people with it either. Was it invented with the sole purpose of killing people? I don't know...maybe it was but that doesn't change the fact a gun needs someone to discharge it. I can go out and buy an assualt rifle and a.50 cal sniper rifle and enjoy shooting them. Nothing in their design makes them inoperable unless you are killing people with them. Just because someone buys a gun does not make them a killer anymore than the guns are killers. I could kill 25 people on the way home with my truck and no one would jump up and scream about outlawing trucks. Do I need armor piercing bullets? No, and that is reason I have never even tried to buy them. I don't have a problem with a world without armor piercing bullets but that starts the slippery slope of outlawing all guns and I am very much against that. I have guns in my house right now and I have been around guns the entire 31 years I have been alive. I have access to almost any type of gun you can name and I have never even pointed a gun at anyone much less shot someone.

It is not an illegal war in everyone's mind.
Damn liberals!
He's not naive, he's stupid.
I'm an American so I care about the USA 1st and foremost (unlike some Americans). I don't care what the Middle East and N Korea think about being told not to develop nukes. We used 2 nukes in the 60 years we have had them in one of the largest wars (if not the largest) of all time. While Japan was raping, murdering, pillaging and surprise attacking Pearl Harbor and Stalin & Hitler were killing whoever they wanted we used 2 nukes. Big freakin' deal.
Let's not forget Pearl Harbor. All the liberals around this place act like Japan was a peaceful nation and the big, bad, mean USA just nuked them for no reason at all.

"...I am pretty sure there are not many ways to promote a gun other then to kill people." One is called hunting. Another is called sport shooting.
