How do you prepare for an earthquake? You move off the planet! {nm} DTravel Aug 08, 16:01

Yes, maybe I'll start a company called "Century 22", and start selling real estate on the moon. No quakes there. {nm} elchan Aug 08, 16:18

For those people who were arguing in favour of gun control laws, take a look at this (hopefully it works): accountant_4_Jesus Aug 07, 00:16

I believe we need to control what kind of weapons should be so easily accessible. However, I'm not for gun control in general. elchan Aug 07, 14:21

Ok, I'll try to respond to all of your comments: accountant_4_Jesus Aug 07, 16:11

Actually they have laws against some kinds of cars. They don't allow spikes on your wheel hub caps, and battering rams on your bumper. elchan Aug 07, 19:38

I prefer the freedom from being potentially threatened with a gun. Jane_Citizen Aug 07, 20:27

Chicago has very strict laws against handguns. They sound really safe from being potentially threatened with a gun. {nm} Tanker Aug 08, 15:13

Cars is used for transportation. The sole purpose of assulat rifles and handguns is to kill people. Antibody Aug 08, 08:29

Nope. Target practice, protect livestock from attacks, protection from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Tanker Aug 08, 15:17

Guns were invented to kill people, period. You can still have hunting rifles for hunting and protecting livestock. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 15:28

Ted Kennedy has killed more people with his car than I have with my handgun. Which, BTW, I used to prevent a crime. Tanker Aug 08, 15:33

It's laughable how you equate cars and guns. Antibody Aug 08, 15:38

Apparently comprehension is a problem. You said guns were invented to kill people, period. I've never used mine to kill anyone. Tanker Aug 08, 15:48

They are called car ACCIDENTS. You haven't used your gun yet. How many crimes have you prevented? {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 15:57

I used my gun in the prevention of a crime. I have never used it kill anyone. Despite your claims about what a gun's intended purpose is. Tanker Aug 08, 16:03

So you have actually shown a gun to someone about to commit a crime against you, who then ran away at the sight of a gun? {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 16:08

It might come as shock to you, but I really don't give a rat's red **** what you believe. Tanker Aug 08, 16:50

In DMac's defense, guns were invented to kill (people &\| animals). That doesn't mean that is all they are used for, however. {nm} PRodNano Aug 08, 18:10

DMac said the sole purpose of assault rifles and handguns is to kill people, an uniformed, demonstrably false statement. {nm} Tanker Aug 09, 03:33

Yes,. that's what they are designed for. Your feeling of protection comes from the threat of bodily harm from those guns. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 10:03
