Washington man damages 4 homes in bulldozer rampage, authorities say

32. Oh right...

...the person who invented the gun said to himself, "Hey, I gotta send a piece of copper to its destination". Yes. I'm sure that is exactly how it happened. That was the literal motivation for inventing the darned thing. Yep.

Shooting at targets and shooting skeet are training. One shoots at targets, skeet etc. to become a better shot so that when the gun is used for its intended purpose, one does not miss. Shooting skeet helps one to be a better shot when shooting at birds. Shooting at a paper target helps one to be a better shot when shooting at mammals such as deer. Or people -- which is why cops and soldiers use targets in their training (we don't pay cops and soldiers to shoot deer for us). Some paper targets are in the shape of life sized persons. Gosh, I wonder why that is?

Sure some people never use their guns to kill. That does not alter the ultimate intended purpose of the gun. It simply doesn't.

Who are you trying to kid here?

C'mon. Guns are made to kill. They are made to kill animals, maybe for food but not always; and they are made to kill people, maybe in wars or law enforcement but not always. They are extremely efficient at their intended purpose. That is one reason the Europeans were so successful conquering the Americas: the natives had nothing even remotely as efficient at killing.

Oh and BTW: I am not anti-2nd amendment. I am pro-reasonable restrictions.
