Imagine life without knives. Knives are hugely useful. Sure, they can be used for violent purposes but obliviously most uses are handy and non-violent. Besides, many things can be used for violent or non-violent purposes- baseball bats, clubs, guitar necks, bricks, pennies thrown off tall buildings, etc., etc.
But guns? They were created for one purpose and one purpose only. You know the rest.

Exactly. And some gun owners will say they don't use guns to kill (even though that is the purpose) like to target practice. I can thank some of my neighbors who do that for driving my anxiety bat shit crazy up the wall on a bad day. Not cool. Besides why do they really target practice for? Do they never think about how that might make them better at killing? Hmmmm...

Perhaps we should ban archery lessons, bows and arrows as well. Heaven forbid it would turn into an Olympic Sporting event for accuracy...oh wait.0 -

You guys are fucking idiots if you think making light of this issue is ok when there are still bodies waiting to be buried.

A knife can cut a thousand times without the need to reload. Some also have grips to aid in their lethality. I don’t care that some people have hobbies...such as cooking. If one life could be saved by banning knives, then it is worth it.
No one disputes the deadliness of a knife, but you can't bump stock a semi-auto knife wielder so he can stab hundreds of people in 10 minutes from over 200 feet away. Hmm, if I were to choose, would I want to have an active stabber or shooter appear at my work. I wonder which one? This is ridiculous. You must be bored today.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

Pretty weak that this is what the pro-gun folks come up with. I guess you've got to hang your hat on something.

mcgruff10 said:So only full auto knife shooters should be illegal? What about those scary looking machetes? Why do people outside of the jungle need them? What about a bowie knife? If you aren't in beer country why do you need one?
The fact that the best argument gun proponents can muster is weakly referring to other objects that have potential to harm speaks volumes regarding how lopsided the debate is."My brain's a good brain!"0
