dont know what you were going on about there, i was just calling you out for saying guns are the most regulated consumer good
they're far from it
food, medications, etc are vastly more regulated. infact they have their own agency dedicated to regulating them, the FDA
as far as the content of your most recent post:
A) no one ever suggested confiscating all guns. you just limit sales, and the number of guns slowly decreases
B) no stuff. the idea is that it's much easier to kill someone with a gun, and guns have NO PURPOSE other than killing. sure, you can kill someone with a screwdriver, but there's more reasons to own a screwdriver than to kill people.
and it'd be dumb to ban smoking because that effects the smoker and is a personal choice. smoking IS banned on public property.
There's an agency dedicated to the regulation of firearms as well, the ATF.
Firearms were invented to kill, yes. In doing so, they can provide food for people, they don't necessarily kill other people. People can also buy guns because they want them, and target shooting is a sport.
Hammers were invented to drive nails, and you wouldn't have much luck using them as a spatula. Guns fire projectiles, so yes, that is what they do.
Smoking affects people other than the smoker because they have to breathe the stuffty air created by burning the tobacco. People who live with smokers are affected almost as much as the smoker. It's not their choice to be affected, but they are. Smoking isn't banned on all public property, go to any city and you'll see people smoking on street corners. You'll inhale that, too. Children of smokers are more likely to have asthma and other respiratory diseases, I wonder why.
