Whereas I am in total agreement with bill of rights when it comes to guns, I have to point out something a friend of my said.

The purpose for the second amendment is to make sure that the government cannot be the only one with weapons. So that what the torries did can never happen again.
I must point out that our government has stealth aircraft, heavy armor and long range weapons. Guns will not stop any of these weapons systems if they chose to use them against our citizens. The landscape can no longer support surviving off the land for the masses.

I have never owned a gun, cannot see a reason to buy one. Guns do only one thing, kill. I have no desire to kill anyone or anything. So I wonder what the fascination with guns are.

In my world, I would legalize all drugs and make it illegal to purchase mass produced bullets.
Legalization of all drugs would prevent criminals from profits to buy guns.
Anyone who wishes to have firearms should be required to take classes in the pressing of their own bullets. Should be allowed to only purchase the raw components for bullets, and make their own.
When the constitution was written, the patriots made their own musket balls, did not have machine guns.

Because stealth bombers,  Abrams tanks,  and cruise missiles made Afghanistan and Iraq a walk in the park.

You wont pay for meat from a butcher because it will make a big CO rich? or the farmers who work hard to feed and muster the cattle? or the transport driver who gets the cattle to the abattoir?

But your happy to buy guns and bullets from the struggling gun companies CO's...ok.

Guns do only one thing, kill.

Obviously, this is incredibly far from being a true statement.  If you're basing ANY argument on this flawed statement, well...

I wonder what percentage of fired ammo is even fired with the intent to kill?  And of the ammo fired with deadly intent, what percentage "succeeds"?

I have roughly 80,000 (yes, 80,000; it's not a typo) rounds fired through rifles directly behind my house every summer (for 30+ years so far, probably closer to 50 years, maybe as many as 60 years).  Not a single round was fired with the intent to kill or harm, and not a round caused unintentional harm or death.

That was just the rifles...  If I added the BB guns, pistols, and shotguns (shotguns are running around 20,000 rounds/year), well, that's a WHOLE LOT of "not killing" going on...

Killing is something that firearms can obviously do, and that they're designed to do, but it's not what they "normally" do.

A statement like "Guns occasionally, or rarely kill things" is probably closer to the truth.
