Why are people so fired up about guns? Guns don't kill people, they don't have a will to decide whether to kill you or not. People use guns to kill people, but then again people can also use a fork to kill people by stabbing them or punching their eyes out, or inserting the fork in the brain through the eye socket. Does this mean we should ban forks? What about matches? I can pour gasoline on you and your entire family and fire a match. Guns can in fact, protect you from a psycho like a certain someone who would much rather enjoy slicing your guts and making a bloody mess out of you rather than puncture a neat hole.
