Jarn, weren't the Nazis pro gun control?

And your argument that because a gun was effective at killing a lot of people by someone without training to use it is not a good one. The guys who killed thousands with a couple of airplanes on 9/11 didn't have much training in piloting airplanes, but they used them to incredibly deadly effect. Does that mean that passenger planes are built for killing?
Guns can kill, but it's not their only constructive use. Even the military have historically preferred to wound rather than kill, right? Wounding an enemy is -1 fighter and -X more people who are dragging him to safety, caring for him, etc. A dead enemy is just -1 fighter. And with self-defense it is about protecting yourself/your family/whatever, not about killing. If someone dies, so be it, they made their bed and they'll lay in it. But the goal isn't to kill, the goal is to stop.
It's asinine of you to try to compare the use of firearms for self defense to the fucking retard shooting up a mall. His gun didn't shoot anyone, HE did.
But I guess we could just make guns illegal right. That'll get them at least some of them off the streets right? Just like the US did with illegal drugs? Lol.
