It can be used to cause bodily harm to someone else. <br /><br />I've been in two car accidents and have a very acute sense of just how horrifyingly dangerous cars are. <br /><br />Which also gives me a healthy realization of just how astounding it is that we have so FEW car crashes. :)TheRealZoombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294181964112167396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451962221661604654.post-14987090367036631522012-05-17T10:49:54.568-07:002012-05-17T10:49:54.568-07:00I agree with most of your thoughts and find your a...I agree with most of your thoughts and find your alternative scenario quite intriguing. <br /><br />The only thing I disagree with is that guns are inherently dangerous. IMO, they aren't. They are a tool. It's the uneducated, un-gun-safe people using them that make them dangerous. My parents have tons of guns; growing up we learned to shoot around four years old. My dad's a firearm safety instructor, and therefore we learned safety from a freaking young age. Don't touch it, don't play with it, don't point it at anything you don't want to shoot, etc. So while I agree with pretty much everything you said, I shall politely disagree with inherent danger.<br /><br />It's people who make things dangerous. Handled by someone who knows what they're doing, an AK47 is less dangerous than wearing a pair of stilettos in a crowd of people. <br /><br />But if guns were like cars, I think we'd be much better off. Education is key.leegomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252547362142341185noreply@blogger.com
