Re: y do people bitch about how guns r so bad?
I live in the UK where guns are illegal, but it is not completely factual to say that there are no guns here. Making them illegal means that only lawbreakers have them, so they are one step higher in the 'arms race' against law-abiding citizens. If everyone could have guns, I think that there would be less opportunistic burglaries for example.
Having said that, if you make a mistake with a gun, shoot the wrong person etc, the damage done is pretty irreparable. Also, there really would be an arms race if everyone had guns - we would be dealing with poeple regularly using MAC-10s and all sorts of shit.
I think banning guns only works if EVERYONE has not got one.Therefore sentences should be much higher to those people caught with them.
People have made the inevitable point that it is not guns that kill people, but people that use them who do. People then say 'oh, well then why don't you ban cars as well because they kill, more people'. The logic does not really stand up as guns prime purpose is to shoot people whereas cars are for transporting people and crashes are an incidental matter.
Not a good argument on a boxing forum, as ours is one of the only sport where the one objective is to hit and hurt your opponent !!!!
