Missing the point really. Maybe we need to talk about how guns make it easier to kill than other weapons. Its quicker, more painless and efficient. You are pressing a trigger from yards away...kinda makes it easier to desensitize yourself.

It's a combination of capacity and easy of doing significant harm.

Why not make holes in paper using an air rifle or something? Why does it have to be bullets? If your answer is because I can, feels good, murica, etc. then I can't talk to you.

It doesnt have to a "bullet", but thats what I choose.
I'm doing somehting quite harmless. And quite legal.

I'll agree with the first things but the last makes no sense. Killing is killing and a bullets impact is not a pretty site most of the time.
