Scuba Forum / General / March 2007Gun Debate--Canadians don't need no gun.
Well, it's clear to me why there are some Canadians that are against guns. They all got knives, and they know how to use them. Guess they will ban them next. Wonder if this guy's wife would be more dead if he shot her--once.

I have heard people can get violent. > Well, it's clear to me why there are some Canadians that are > against guns.

Dan > > http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Mar/01/br/br9416507238.html It doesn't describe the knife, but its quite likely that the knife was not designed to kill, particularly since it tookl 100 tries. Apparently, to some, if the item used to kill was not actually intended to be used for killing, then its ok and no controls need to be placed on these things. :-) Dennis >> Well, it's clear to me why there are some Canadians that are >> against guns.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > seems fair enough. And here we disagree. To me, generally, Its what a person actually does with the item, and not "what it was designed to do". And i that action is criminal, then they'll face the consequences. A person killed by a knife, a baseball bat, or a car is just as dead as one killed by a gun. Presuming that the killing was not jsutified as self-defense (or other legal grounds), then that person, that person, should be the one punished. Not all the folks who'll peacably carve meat (long kitchen knives), hit balls, or drive to work. And, naturally, it includes those who'll either hunt or target shoot with the weapon of their choice. Yes, there are folks who hunt here with pistols. Dennis >> >> Well, it's clear to me why there are some Canadians that are >> >> against guns. They all got knives, and they know how to use them.

As I said I am happy enough with our gun laws you are happy with yours so we will have to disagree > >> >> Well, it's clear to me why there are some Canadians that are > >> >> against guns.

Then why excuse stuff "based on its intended purpose"?

As Doug pointed out, our non-gun voilent crime is 3x higher than Japan's. And, as was pointed out, one country IIRC Germany, experienced a near-doubling of violent crime after banning firearms. > As I said I am happy enough with our gun laws you are happy with yours so we > will have to disagree Yes, we will.
