You can injure people with a rock too. We get it though, a gun is more dangerous than a rock. But why is it 300 million other people's problem that you're a dumbass who can't handle dangerous equipment properly? If you walk into a automobile factory and start playing around with heavy machinery without the first clue what you're doing, you're probably going to lose an arm. Is that the machine's fault or your fault? |

Safety precautions include not pointing the gun at anyone, making several checks to make sure the gun isn't still loaded before handling it and making sure the gun isn't rusted, cracked or broken anywhere. I will restate my point again since you seem to not be getting it; a firearm held by somebody with proper training and discretion isn't a harm to anyone by nature. There is no reason to outlaw firearms because of improper care and handling of them. There are incredibly better ways of handling the situation than to destroy an entire industry. |

That is less lethal ammo than can be put into a weapon that fires lethal ammo. Accidents: They happen. There was a SWAT team, highly trained dudes right? Well after a raid one of them tripped over with accidently discharged his shotgun which killed a boy. Even the military forgets up and kills civilians all the time. I can think of several recent incidents where a missile or artillery shell slammed into some guys house. Even knifes can be dangerous for the same reasons you stated for firearms. I could be trying to cut an orange with dull knife, I apply too much pressure and slips and cuts my finger. |
