    Chicago Gun Ban

    That's funny. I asked to proove that guns are made to save lives, and you are now the third person to answer me with a "no...you show proof". Hey...I asked first. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    The more legal guns there are, the more legal guns are stolen, the more find their way to the criminals. The bigger the supply, the cheaper the guns become, the easier and cheaper they are to acquire for criminals. Keep in mind supply and demand from Eco 101. Less guns, equals less guns stolen, equals less guns on the market, equals higher prices. Guns for criminals become more expensive. Legal guns have been known to be part of accidents that have killed or injured people, including kids. Legal guns have been known to escalate situations that could have been simply deal with words. A person is more likely to attempt suicide with a gun in the house. Our society embraces guns, and we have the highest murder rate in the world. It's not just the availability of guns, but the attitude we have about them. We love them, and we die from them (look at USA gun murder rate.) And i am not talking about just guns. I’m talking about all warfare material. There is no good reason why your average Joe needs to have access to guns, tanks, bombs, etc. Instead of guns, people should buy insurance in case their materialistic things get stolen. And there are bullet proof vests for those fearing everyday they will be shot at. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    Mike, this is where you and i disagree. It's not just the use of the tool, but the tool itself as well. Remember you can "use" just about any "tool" to kill. But not every "tool" is speciifcally designed to do a good job at killing. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    No Mike..guns are used for what they are designed to do (end life)...everything else about guns, such as target shooting, is secondary. (yes, there are guns made specifically for sport, but that's not what the Chinese designed guns for. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    Yeah...ok... I have heard two things now in this thread....Guns were designed to save lives, and bullet proof vests are offensive weapons.....LMAO 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    That would be 300-600 years after gunpower was invented, and 300 years after your claim. It's quite clear that it was not invented for military application, and was underutilized by the Chinese for that intent. You are right...gun powder was not designed for military application...guns were. I dont believe you average citizen should have access to things like guns, bombs, grenades, tanks, rockets, nuclear weaponry, chemcial agents, and guns (again). If you dont feel safe, wear a bullet proof vcest. Unlike guns, they were designed to save lives. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    wow...you took the words right out of my mouth...i was going to ask you the same thing. This thread is about guns,...not gun powder. The gun propels the bullet. The powder is the agent that allows for that to happen. You fire a gun (pull a trigger), there is a low explosion, and the bullet is propelled. I love how gun owners always want to get technical. Example a gun doesn’t kill, but propels lead. Yeah ok...and my car doesn’t take me from A to B. I only use it for its for its fuel combustion. Gun owners always forget to add why someone wants to propel the lead. People kill and guns are used to kill. Everything else about guns is secondary. By the way…you have awesome copy and paste skills. Chicks dig guys with skills. Edited to add: Guns were designed to be used to kill...gun powder wasnt. We are talking about guns in here. Keep up. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    No, it's called "you can't disprove an emotional response". How about a non emotional response....can I get one of those? You already got it, above. Do you need me to state it again? You are right. DJL in post #95 did have a good non-emotional response. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    They also used it to make firecrackers, which are used in all sorts of celebrations. Guns are used to make firecrackers? I was thinking the exact same thing when I read that. when you realize that the word we're looking for is gunpowder, not guns, it might make more sense to you. Guns don't propel anything, not now, and not 1000 years ago. When you realize we are talking about guns, and not gunpowder you will catch up to the rest of us. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    Prove to me that guns were invented to save lives, and not take them. If YOU can prove the null to that question you will have done it yourself. I'll take that rezsponse as an "I cant prove it". Neither can you prove your assertion - it is an emotional response, nothing more. I'll take taht as "I dont have proof either" 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    Many jurisdictions are now requiring double locking and hold airplane owners responsible if they don't do it. If you can't be responsible for the security of your guns, you shouldn't have them. After all - you DO claim you need a gun for security. I never made the claim I have to have a gun for security. I have several security measures in place. Oh and good luck proving you had your plane double locked, and if it is stolen, you obviously did not have it secured at all. Obviously. And when it is stolen I will accept responsibility. However, I can prove that I keep it triple locked (3 separate keys needed). What the good is it if you're sleeping and somebody breaks in and it takes you A HALF HR. to get it ready to fire. I sleep w/ my 357 locked and loaded. Keeps me warm and fuzzy. What good is it when it becomes one of the 300,000 guns stolen this year? 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    AND ILL SAY IT AGAIN...ANYTHING CAN BE USED TO KILL....HOWEVER NOT EVERY TOOL WAS DESIGNED WITH THE INTENTION OF KILLING WHEN USED (A car was designed to dive you from A to B, but it also has a secondary purpose, which is racing it. At first cars were made to move people around faster, but soon cars were also being designed for sport. A gun is used to kill, but much like a car, it also has a secondary purpose, which is target practice or hunting) 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

  18. 10 does equal 9.999... - that's the whole point. 0.999...=1 9.999...=10 A 10 is a 10, and 9.9999 to infinity is always slughtly less then 10. It will never reach 10. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer

    Funny, I drive and walk though Chicago every day (and have done for 30 years) and never needed a gun. Nor do I ever expect to. Must be sad to go through life so fearful of being attacked as you seem to be. bad guys will ONLY be able to get guns as long as people like you are their enablers. It must be sad to be so fearful of a malfunction that you carry a reserve.... It must be sad to be so fearful of a crash that you wear a seatbelt... It must be sad to be so fearful of a fire that you keep a fire extinguisher... Preparation != fear. Your "fear" argument is nothing but a strawman, as you well know. Thats a weak rebuttle. A reserve, a fire extinguisher and a seat belt are not designed to kill. A gun is. You are comparing apples to mangos. Nope - it was designed to propel a small piece of lead at a high velocity. It is *USED* (by some) to kill. I just turned YOUR mango back into an apple, as it was before the strawman. Anything can be used to kill with, but not everythign is designed with that intent, except for thing slike guns, bombs, grenades, etc. Unless the reserve, fire extinguisher and seat belt we designed for the same purpose as guns, bombs, grenades, then it's still a mango my friend. Added: If that's case then my car was designed to combust fuel. Except that that's not its purpose. Its purpose is to drive me around with I am controlling it. The reserve saves my life when I use it, the fire extinguisher stops fire when used, a seat belt prevents me from hitting the window when used, and a gun takes a life when used. A gun propels lead, but its purpose is to end a life (and it can be used for recreation too), but recreation is not what it was designed for in the first place. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer
  20. Let s = 0.9999... then 10s = 9.99999... then (10s - s) = 9 9s = 9 therefore s = 1 If s=1 then 10s=10. 10 does not equal 9.999999999999999999999. 7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer
