Knives and shovels have uses other than causing damage though, like cutting a turkey, or digging to plant vegetables.
It's damage but it isn't damage on the same level as killing an animal, or destroying a wooden fence used as a shooting range.
What use does a gun have where it doesn't cause massive damage to something?

and have you accepted that the car comparison doesn't work? I'm not too bothered about the whole knife/shovel thing because I think there is an argument there for hunting knives or the military bladed shovels, but regular knives and shovels aren't as big of a threat as guns when it comes to the amount of people who can be killed in one spree, so I don't think there is an argument there.

Damage is damage, weather you think it causes more damage is irrelevant. A shovel is meant to cause damage to the ground to plant things, granted it could be used to pick up dog poop. What's the difference between a shovel digging a hole and a gun shooting at a target? Not a hole lot, one is leisure, and the other is work. Also, a gun can just be set up as display where it is being used to look cool, but not kill anything.

The car and gun works. People are clearly too dumb to drive they can wreck on the freeway or fall asleep at the wheel. There is no argument when it comes to gun control. Why do we have guns (US)? To protect ourselves from a tyrannical government. Do you know that most people who don't follow laws are criminals? Did you know that everyone who shoots someone is a criminal? WTF do you think taking away guns will do? Criminals won't give up their guns, call me a criminal because I sure as hell am ot giving up my guns.

More than 30,000 people are killed by firearms each year in this country. Let's just bump that up to 50k for the hell of up and to make sure we count everyone. 318.9 MILLION people live in the US. 50000 / 318900000 = 0.000157 That is a VERY small percentage of the population that die from guns to decide to take guns away from everyone. Trying to take guns away is a horrible idea. All you are doing is taking away guns from an honest man. The other people (criminals) will still have guns, robbery's will go up, and this country will be horrible.

7.6 million people die each year from cancer. 7.6 million > 50k. We should be spending our money towards finding a cure for cancer before trying to take guns away.

Haven't been on TTG for a month so sorry for replying so late but 002, you said this beautifully.

You have to agree with the argument that it's just a tool and a tool can be missed used.
Look at the video where the white chick threw a shovel at another chick.....hahaha

No but seriously a gun is a tool with a designed purpose... but it also has other purposes (could be considered misuse) just hammer in some nails with your Beretta!

Personally, I don't believe any of the school shootings or other events of that nature were "Faked" we do not live in a country where the government fakes stuff to scare us. Or do we?

Look up "Operation Northwoods" i think that's it but im not sure. Could be real or fake

or it could be like the Illuminati or Half-Life 3 and be in a gray zone known as our hopes and dreams
