I vote guns should not be banned because it provides safely and hunting for foods. Guns DOES NOT kill people. People kill people.
I'm not for banning guns either but I'm going to be blunt about guns. The only purpose of using firearms is to ... kill people or animals. Do they have a purpose other than killing people and animals? I do not have flare guns in mind as they were not designed to kill others. Knifes can be used to kill others as can baseball bats but they were not designed only for killing people and animals. They can be used for other purposes as well.
Target practice. I used to go to my friend's house and shoot his 22 rifle at a pop can filled with water. If you it it just right, it will explode the can.I'm not for banning guns either but I'm going to be blunt about guns. The only purpose of using firearms is to ... kill people or animals.

They could be used for fun at a shooting range (ie aiming at targets). That's the only time I ever have and most likely ever would shoot a gun.
Also, you forgot "hurting, maiming, or otherwise harming animals". (I'm including "humans" in the "animals" category, too.)
Second Amendment. I was mistaken. I mean they can only limit of guns own. They can't ban guns.
Yup, that's correct but it is up to US Supreme Court to strike on gun restriction down if they see as unconstitutional or flawed.
Very well. I'll accept target practice but what's the purpose of target practice? It's certainly not for planting flowers. Could the purpose of target practice be to be more efficent at killing things? Can't kill animals or humans if you have lousy aim.
I did mention killing animals and I assumed others would know that I'm referring to hunting. For the record, I could never be vegetarian. My mention of killing animals was perhaps too board for you.

That's what Hubby and I do.They could be used for fun at a shooting range (ie aiming at targets). That's the only time I ever have and most likely ever would shoot a gun....
There many flaws of use guns. Murder, rape, steal, and many more....
In the US, that's illegal....However, I don't support hunting on any animals that are part of endangered species....
Quit molesting 2nd amendment!
Outlaw guns then, the outlaws will have it, simple as is.
Many years ago, when I was shooting at an indoor range, I was wearing aviator style glasses. One of the hot shells not only hit me between the eyes, it stuck in the eyeglass frame. It sizzled there! Whew!I have shot at ranges too. I remember having hot brass land down the front of my shirt from the shooter at the adjacent lane.
Ouch!
