Seriously OT: Firearms (was RE: Interesting show on the Computer Garage)

If you follow the thread, you'll notice that my original message was
directed at a statement that says (not verbatum), "why shouldn't we outlaw
hammers, rakes, nails, etc, because these can all be used as deadly
weapons". However, the people listen to what they want to hear - my
statement was "a gun is made to kill". The comparison is that those other
tools are tools, and while a gun is a tool, its purpose is to kill. End of
statement.
