It is a tool, but it is a powerful tool. Power must be respected, used only if necessary. With power, a duty to avoid making power necessary by all means. Not meant to be used against our fellow man, but against the powers derived from such tools that men use with disregard to the duty of having such power.

That depends on your location. I can name 14 countries where they are.

If it´s about the tool thing:

I can understand people who have guns, because they need it for their job, or for sports, or maybe if they´re collectors. Then they´re tools.

If it´s about all the security stuff and home defense:

It´s rather similar to these obstacles they built here to prevent people to drive other people over with trucks and vans. Costs a certain amount of tax money. Then someone sees them and says: "According to my calculations these would have no effect, as the force of these trucks would be much more than these obstacles can handle. They would either be pulverized, or would be projectiles by themselves." and reports that to the authorities. So again a lot of tax money is spend to verify the calculation with real life experiments. Conclusion: right - they do nothing, but they will still be there, because they still serve a purpose: they make the citizens feel safe, while i´m actually unsure how many people think about being driven over by a van on purpose to begin with - probably less than people think about being shot or being robbed in a country with high crime rate, little to no welfare, and certain gun laws.

This makes no sense. If they still serve a purpose then they are doing something. Your conclusion is contradictory and illogical.

What? You could have quoted some more words. They do nothing in reality, but they create a feeling of safety - which is obsolete as soon as the people realize that they don´t do what they´re supposed to do. This isn´t a conclusion, this is a fact for these obstacles.

Edit:
Of course they still serve a purpose, as they´re reminders that the officials are idiots and waste tax money on useless things and don´t trust calculations about physics - and don´t even consider doing that first.

I love guns. But sadly, for business and networking reasons, I live in an anti-gun state. But my residency is in a pro-gun state. Because ♥♥♥♥ paying taxes to people who hate me. Aka; democrats, liberals. socialists. lefitsts, marxists, etc.

I have well over a million dollars invested in NFA items. My property is hundreds of acres, where I can shoot machine guns and hunt hogs and invaders from helicopters and boats for fun.

Pandora's toybox box has been opened, and the only way to put guns back inside would be to take an even worse toy out of the box in order to make room room for the guns, just as taking guns out made room to put the swords and arrows back in.

No point in arguing about guns on the internet so I'll wish you a good evening and be on my way.

They usually end the same way - so i think we agree on that. :o)

Have a nice evening as well.

Yeah. Here is my educated take. The people outside of America do not understand that a civilization that is already armed cannot simply be de-armed and everyone be honky-dory.

Say it with me now: Criminals DO NOT abide by the law

Removing guns from caring and responsible American's would just put them at risk of the people who cannot be screened to have their weapons removed, because the government doesn't know they exist.

Stop being primitive and projecting that onto my people and country. The more you know...

I think that from an engineering and design standpoint, they are really interesting. Not to mention their utility and practicality as weapons.

Being from a country that was disarmed by legislation, I think it worked quite well as gun crime is exceptionally rare here.

I think our system works well as those who need firearms for their work are allowed to have them and those who want them for hunting or whatever can go through a licensing and vetting process to get permission to purchase and own them. From what I understand, handguns are extremely difficult to obtain as outside of police and licensed armed security, there isn't a justification for having one, and they are very hard to get into the country and thus their street value allegedly runs into the tens of thousands.
