To have.

For Collection, Protection, or just for general fun and shooting.

I do not, however, condone the using of weapons in an illegal manner unless it is in regards to protecting you or your family's life.

Did anyone read this article?

Everyone in the US has the right to own a gun. I agree with that. I read some of the things that people write in here or hear some things that people say, and all I can think is dear god that guy should not have a gun. Self defence, alright, good reason to have a gun, but its not self defence if you "brag" about what you would do if you were in the situation. It is then just a convienent situation for you to shoot someone.

if you own a gun, respect the **** wepon for what it is. A device to kill.

I hope that on-one on this forum is ever in a situation where you have to make the choice about wether or not to shoot someone.

Someone can take 5kw amplifier, hook up wires to somebody and electrocute them to death.
That amplifier just became a weapon because someone chose to use it for the sole purpose of harm.

Well really, that amp BECAME a weapon. you bought it to make things go boom boom in your trunk. You buy a gun, well that IS a weapon, you dont need to wire it up to someone, you just need to point and pull the trigger.

when did this turn into a male ************ thread?

You're missing the point. It has nothing to do with its capability to inflict damage. A pencil is a weapon if someone chooses to stab someone in the eye with it. A baseball bat is no longer a sporting item if a guy decides to beat someone to death with it; It is now a weapon.
So by what you are saying, you cannot understand why someone would collect automobiles since they are capable of such destruction? Have you looked at the statistics of automobile related deaths vs. legally owned firearms? And if you break it down even further, the percentage of legally owned firearms that are used in a crime is yet another fraction of that.

What is a pencil made to do?

What is a gun made to do?

The arguement I'm seeing here is anything can be a weapon, so why cant I own the real thing.

So what is the purpose of the police?

In the event of a incident, you have seconds to act, not minutes to wait for the police to come.
