Guns are for killing

Guns are for killing

In one of my recent articles about prized possessions there are a few comments about people owning guns and how it is their prized posession.

In Australia, we have strict gun ownership laws. The average person doesnt own a gun here.

I mean why else would you own a gun unless you were going to kill something or someone?

Sure I can see people saying that it their right to own a gun, be it for collectors items or for personal protection, but surely the only reason you would own a gun is so that you could shoot it and kill.

Im glad we have the gun laws we have here. Im glad our government has taken a stand. There are too many crazy people out there and i wouldnt want them having a gun. it would be too easy to use and our crime rate would be much higher.

Sure there are sensible people out there who own guns. But it doesnt make sense to me that most keep their guns locked away hidden, with the amunition stored in a seperate place if they want to use it for self protection then it would take a bit of time to crank it all up to use. Does it make them feel more secure owning a gun? I would be more worried that there was one in the house let alone someone coming to shoot me.

But you know Im glad that in our society here in Australia this is a very rare occurence. The average joe doesnt have a gun and therefore is less likely to go out and use one.

Heck I havent even seen a gun up close let alone fired one.

I feel safe. I have no thoughts to use or own one.

I don't know which is more disturbing to me. That soneone can have such an irrational fear of inanimate objects, or that someone can have such a skewed idea of their "society" that they are unable to entertain its inaccuracy even when confronted with proof to the contrary. I don't think I have ever seen anyone with their eyes this glazed over...

Baker likes brick walls and heads!.  You are not going to budge, but you are not going to convince anyone as that is not your purpose here.  You stated an ironclad belief that is not debatable.

Which is fine.  I guess some just took it as a point of debate.  Sometimes it is not.  it is a statement of faith.

And that is fine.

Debating is good though! Makes the mind work and the braincells going. In the end it is a debate, and nothing more. Doesnt change my thoughts over people on here. Doesnt make me want to write articles and call them stupid, which I am disapointed that people have done, but hey that is life ..well life on JU.

Thanks Dr Guy, your a gem.
