IMHO, Guns are misunderstood and abused.
Guns are a tool:
- Personal protection from all vermin.
- To kill critters for eating.
- To keep enemies at bay or drive them off.
Unfortunately:
- Vermin and enemies also have guns.
- The NRA thinks we need machine guns for critters.
Fortunately:
- Because we can own them still applies.
Is there a way to rid the planet of guns?

I totally agree with you, Boo. I don't understand the opposition to a 50caliber ban and these grounds. I own several rifles, myself, and enjoy target shooting and hunting. But I honestly do not understand why it is truly necessary for a hunter to kill his quarry with a Bushmaster AR-15. Its almost beyond logic. One bullet will likely kill a deer, dove or whatever your chosen game is ... no need for 250 in a second. No need for depleted uranium coke-bottle shells either ... become a better shot. Drop a deer with a .22 and then I'll let you play with a 50cal, otherwise shut the heck up in my opinion.
