    you can put a bunch of BBs in the pipe and make it a mass killing weapon. i'm not picking on you. just trying to show that there are other ways if a person wants to kill a lot of people. the fbi has an entire room dedicated to homemade guns. you can't remove the weapon unless you remove the technology from everyones mind.

    I'm not saying taking away guns will magically stop crime. I know there are other ways of killing people, but that doesn't take away the fact that guns are made for killing and probably the easiest or most convienent way to kill someone. If you want to kill someone effectively, which I guess is what these people want to do, you'd use a gun. How many incidents have there been with pipe bombs that ended with casualties? And I don't mean stupid kids blowing their own hands off, I mean actual intended victims? How many incident were there with guns that ended with casualties? I'd say there's a reason why people who do these things pick guns.

    And the whole 'guns don't kill people, people kill people' is, imo, completely ridiculous. If one knows people kill people, why give them guns, which are made for killing?

    I don't know how many rooms the FBI has dedicated to guns, but I bet it's a lot more than those dedicated to homemade guns and bombs.

    And you're right, you cannot remove the technology that is in one's mind or even available anywhere else... but removing the gun (which I'm not advocating by the way) might discourage people.

    I just think it's not a coincidence that the US is the most lax country of the western world regarding guns and gun laws and has the highest rate of school shootings and the highest per capita gun related deaths.

    This is where I take the right side. Guns are good for maintaining freedom from fascism. Although that's just as easily done with rifles instead of handguns.

    Cool, so your a fan of mandatory minimum sentences too.

    I feel the same way in regards to the war on drugs.
