Gun Control Reform Activism

Guns are designed for the same purpose as a bow and arrow is designed, to propel a projectile over a distance to hit and put a hole in a specified (aimed at) target. This target could be paper, straw, a hill of sand, or a living thing. It is not the gun that kills, it is the person and their thinking that does it. Guns don't pull their own triggers; they don't walk into a bar and attack someone; they don't load their own ammunition; etc.

Some out there feed their families using their guns, bows and arrows, etc. Some out there use them for sport, as was mentioned - it is an olympic sport, among other types. I own and shoot guns and enjoy the heck out of making holes in paper targets. Yes I find multiple guns useful because there are different kinds of matches using different types of guns and rounds.

In many states there are a lot of gun control regulations along with some federal ones. The issue is we need to close the loopholes in those regulations, and enforce the ones we have. If a state is stupid enough to say guns belong in bars, I'm sorry for that and won't move to that state (might not even want to visit it!) alcohol and firearms, just like alcohol and driving a vehicle, do not go together.

Sadly blaming the tool doesn't solve the problem - we have to remedy the underlying reasons the guns are used violently. We need to enforce the regulations, and make sure they are followed. Blaming the tool takes the legal responsible sport shooter and punishes them. I agree the gun lobby nuts need to shut up and understand they are inflammatory - but again, they are the nuts, not the guns.
