Then you completely ignore the simplest of arguments: Guns don't kill people. A properly functioning, high-powered rifle cannot kill people.

Face it, just about anything can be used as a murder weapon. I can kill people with my car. I can kill people with knives. I can kill people with scissors. I can kill people with my bare hands. I can kill people with a pen. I can kill people with my car keys. I can kill people with a chair. I can kill people with a toaster. I can kill people with a glass bottle. I can kill people with a golf club. I can kill people with a baseball bat. I can kill people with a plastic bag. I can kill people crowbar. I can kill people with a pillow. I think you guys get the point. If not, I'll name some more later.

Just because something CAN be used maliciously does not mean that it will. It is the responsibility of the individual to obey the law. Taking away the weapon does not take away the criminal intent. Instead, it merely changes the weapon. If you can't trust yourself to be careful with a weapon, then don't buy the weapon. It's that simple.

The simple act of owning a gun does not impede on the rights of someone else, and it certainly shouldn't make someone a criminal. Again, I can use just about anything to impede on the rights of someone else. Only then, when I willfully impede on someone else's rights should I be considered a criminal, and not a second sooner.

Edit: People are only irrational because the government gives them the ability to be irrational. If you cradle a child, the child will always expect to be cradled. If someone is forced to rely on the government, they will never learn to take matters into their own hands. Regardless, I don't know about you, but I don't know anybody or anybody that knows someone who has created a frivolous lawsuit. Those lawsuits certainly do show the stupidity of some people, but that's all... just SOME. A minority shouldn't be enough to determine the fate of the vast majority.

You are missing my point... Yes a lot of things can be used as a murder weapon, but guns were made to kill people..Chairs were made to sit on.. You cannot relate the two.. If someone breaks into my home and steals my computer or w/e im not gonna shoot him. If someone breaks into your home with a gun and is pointing at you.. even though you have a gun are you seriously gonna make a move for it and risk being killed? Hell no, let the thief take what he wants and you'll more then likely come out of it alive but short on funds...

Im sorry if my way of living and disagreement with killing people doesn't quite live up to your lifestyle.
