Cars are designed for transportation, look at how many people are killed by the misuse of them. Still readily available, still not banned.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;1002856] The primary use of a handgun is to shoot another person. You can say you like shooting targets for fun, but thats not the inherent purpose of the weapon. When youre target shooting, all youre doing is practicing for a real live target.[/quote]

You can also use a handgun as a deterrent, don't even need to fire a shot. Check under the desk of any 24 hour local market.

[quote=Daseal;1002864]If his post is so ridiculous. Would you be fine if you could only get rubber bullets as amunition? You know, if it's primarily for target practice then rubber bullets will be more than sufficient.[/quote]

No I wouldnt be fine.
It wouldnt make a big enough bang to suit me.
It wouldnt give me a proper understanding of how it would work in a combat situation.
It wouldnt blow up milk jugs the way I like.
It wouldnt explode tannerite properly.
It wouldnt do a lot of things I like.

Thats like asking me if I wanted to stop doinking Kate Upton and do Ellen Degeneres instead.

Re: Pro-gun article
 

Were the guns used ones that would be banned? Did the man and women in question obtain their weapons legally , did the intruder have his face shot off or was he shot 23 times, was the intruder 5 years old ?

bet you it's .....

No,yes,no,no and no. So yeah your question is pretty much irrelevant .

Why do you think tree huggers want a gun background check? The two issues have nothing to do with each other. Most environmentalists/outdoors men I know also are firearms enthusiasts.

Seems gun control is coming to an area near you. I did not have time to read the whole article but it seems private sales will still not require a background check. [B]If that's the case how will any gun control work[/B].[/quote]

Couldn't agree with this more. I also recently read that the majority of illegal firearms in U.S. cities are the result of legal guns being stolen from homes and cars. Not sure if any of you guys more vested in this issue have any information on that.
