Cars are designed for transportation, look at how many people are killed by the misuse of them. Still readily available, still not banned.

You can also use a handgun as a deterrent, don't even need to fire a shot. Check under the desk of any 24 hour local market.

You miss the point. Handguns are specifically designed to cause injury/death to another human being. Cars are not.

You can also use a handgun as a deterrent, don't even need to fire a shot. Check under the desk of any 24 hour local market.

They are a detrrent because they have the threat to kill someone. Youre proving my point. Guns are designed to injure/kill other human beings.

You say I miss the point yet clearly you're the one 'not getting it'. Look at the numbers for vehicular deaths and injuries. They are NOT designed to KILL. Think about that. NOT DESIGNED TO KILL. Now look at the numbers again.

That many deaths from something NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO KILL.

Getting it yet?

Yet they don't have to be used for the deterrent to work. Have you thought about your position on this at all? Serious question.

Youre not getting it. Numbers have nothing to do with anything. By your logic, Hearts are designed to kill because heart attacks kill more people than guns and car accidents.

Cars kill alot of people due to a number of factors, ranging from poor maintenance, drivers not paying attention, bad weather, etc. But the automobile is not a weapon. its a transportation tool that is dangerous if not used properly.

Handguns ARE weapons specifically designed to kill or injure another human being. You may use it for target practice, but that doesnt change the reason guns exist.

Yet they don't have to be used for the deterrent to work. Have you thought about your position on this at all? Serious question.

If you dont plan on using the gun, and only want it to serve as a deterrent, then you dont need ammo at all. In fact, you dont even need a real gun. You could just have a prop gun.

The more you type, its obvious that there is no logic to your position. You just want to argue that you should have guns because you enjoy them and want to be prepared to shoot someone if they mess with you. That seems to be your position. its one i dont respect or agree with. I think Handguns are inherrently evil devices and society would be safer as a whole if they were illegal.

Oh, dear.......it's an inanimate object.

If you make firearms illegal only law breakers will have them. Not smart.

The companies making them would only be able to sell to law enforcement or the military. Eventually, they'd be taken out of circulation.

I'm also for stiffer penalties for crime and increased executions, and that would lower the number of lawbreakers out there.
