kbordson 8 #151 August 18, 2006 QuoteBack to the beginning - nail guns are designed for constructive, not destructive purposes. And I think we are talking about humans, not elephants or blue whales. Amusing how you totally disregarded the technical aspect of the rest of the post. The part that actually explained why they weren't "killer projectiles." You asked a question, I gave an answer with undebatable proof, and you go off on a tangent by acting as if your superior cuz of course "we are talking about humans." I was just proving that your question had too many variables. And taking some solid data (bullet weight, type, distance) proved you wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #152 August 18, 2006 QuoteYou do realize that is not the same thing right? The fact that guns were invented for killing doesn't necessarily make them bad. But my argument is that firearms weren't invented for killing. (re-read my post on the history of firearms) AND I still hold that OBJECTS can't be BAD, can't be EVIL. They are tools. The intent of people and the application of those tools (whether it be firearms, knives, cars, electric chairs, nukes, dildos, rigs, ect.) can be bad.

Hooknswoop 19 #153 August 18, 2006 QuoteThat's my point; low muzzle velocities make a gun less lethal. Right, but then you took it a step further and said that abovee 200fps is lethal and below 200 fps is not lethal. You tried to say that I said a gun is lethal and if it isn't lethal, it isn't a gun. I never said that. QuoteUh, no - they were used to chop stuff up. OK, i was reaching and you got m there Just because guns weerre orginally designed to kill does not mean all guns are designed to kill. There arre classifications of guns just as there are classifications of chairs, airplanes, etc. Regardless of the original purpose of something, that does not mean that it will forever be meant for that purpose, even if it still could be.

azdiver 0 #154 August 19, 2006 your off course here, everything in this world has the potential to be lethal if someone decides to use it that way. so comparing one object to another is stupid in this discussion.light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwieder 0 #155 August 21, 2006 Quoteif everyone would remember one key thing about guns everyone would be safer, they are desinged to do one thing and one thing only KILL. Hog Wash, is this a Cop-Out? not everyone uses them for that but thats what they are made to do Novice?-Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
