Well thanks for educating me on the Internet piece.
As for the "need"...we can't always have what we want.
But whatever, it's a culture I just don't understand.
I think we are on the same page on this issue but in order for us as country to start getting along better we need to learn/understand the otherside, not take a whatever atittude.
As far as the assualt rifles firstdown hit it on the head they are fun for some and I get that. I be pissed if they outlawed high performance cars because some nuts killed people with them. Are fast cars necassry? Nope, but they are as fun as hell.
Cars aren't built with an intent to kill though. That's where that type of argument comes up short for me.

Then, rationally, we should be WAY more careful with something that isn't designed to kill and yet does.

A lot of guns US manufacturers make that fit the assault gun profile aren't intended for killing either.

In general, firearms are made with the intent of injuring/killing. Let's not kid ourselves.

Yes they may not have the intent to kill; but most LEO's will tell you that is the most dangerous thing you can give a person.

Thats hardly an accurate statement painted with a pretty broad stroke.
I could poke a million holes in that.

Well of course, but we're talking about two separate issues.

Ok so what's the intent of most firearms? Educate me. Outside of shooting targets for sport, there's not much else they're used for that doesn't involve killing humans or animals as far as I see.

Shooting targets is fun and hunting is legal. Why should that be taken away from responsible people?
Bad guys will find ways to kill; heck look no further the 9/11; no guns used there
