Ill lay it out. A spoon can't hurt ANYONE'S life. It is an inanimate object. Its not the spoon's fault that the person is fat and it is not the guns fault that an irresponsible person pulled the trigger. Please try to stay on topic and stop blaming objects for what people do.
by your "logic", people should be allowed to have anything. flame throwers. nerve gas. incendiary bombs. "nuclear weapons don't kill people, people kill people". yeah, really tenable position ya got there.
as a society, we've made decisions about what individuals can and can't have. and those decisions have changed over the years. we're finally getting around to changing some long-standing positions on guns, and the dinosaurs are going to have to deal with it.
So now you agree with me! Thanks for understanding finally that the gun didn't do anything and that it was the INDIVIDUAL WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER... But no I never stated people should have anything they want. Still a nice try though. Just so you know, it is not a 'position', it is a constitutional RIGHT. Also if we are going to start banning things that are used to kill people (why we would I don't know, a ban does NOTHING to stop criminals from being criminals), lets start with cars, bath tubs, and drugs. More people are killed each year by each of those tings than by people with firearms. Oh yeah drugs are illegal, case in point how banning does not work. Please form new on if you are going to try to make a point at least support it with facts instead of wishy-washy theory that has repeatedly proven to be inaccurate by real world facts.
BAN THE SPOONS! THEY CAUSE PEOPLE TO BE FAT...
