Hunting guns good, all others bad.
What would I rather be shot with, my S&W M&P AR-15 22LR, or my Weatherby Vanguard?

Jath said: I'm practicing to kill things. ... Guns are for killing. No getting around that fact.
I think the bigger problem isn't that the Antis can't separate guns from killing, but the fact that they can't, or refuse to separate gun owners from murders.
The people who look the silliest are those holding signs saying things like "NRA has blood on their hands"
They look even sillier when they claim that the NRA is the voice of the "gun industry" instead of the gun owners. Never mind that the NRA has 4.5 million members
This is pretty much all the woes the Temperance movement claimed that banning Alcohol would fix....If you look where all of these murders are happening, the cities, the "culture" is the major issue. I'm talking about fatherless children, poor or no role models, no discipline, no god, cycle of poverty, not cool to talk right or be successful, gang culture, etc... There are all sorts of hurdles to go through before having an honest dialogue about such topics (cries of racism etc.). It will not be discussed on a national level and the situation will continue to deteriorate. I would not want to be anywhere near a city should a national or man-made disaster take place...
and those are MOST CERTAINLY meant to kill people.
I am new here, but dont cars kill more people than guns? I don't remember who said it on TV, but, we as a society chose to allow motor vehicles even though we knew that people would be killed by them.
Meant, BY WHOM? By the inanimate object? By the long-dead inventor?
By both the inventor and the original users.
I can't go back in time to ask the designer to make them shoot flowers or something
How do you know this? And how did THEIR INTENT or PURPOSE magically transfer to the firearm you now own?
What else was the M1 Garand rifle designed for?
but they are still every bit as deadly
You're not going to convince an anti-gun person that many types of firearms aren't designed to effectively deliver damage down range.
You are fooling yourself if you don't think these WW2 milsurps were made with the intention of killing an enemy.

^ This.I think what they can't separate from guns is the murdering. All they see is a murder tool and that is not truth.

The reason that the Second Amendment says 'arms' is to allow the people to use any available modern weapon to defend ourselves against tyrannical government, foreign or domestic. That was the intent of the Founders, plain and simple. They knew firearms would evolve.
The problem with anti-gunners is that they cannot understand the concept of personal responsibility. Guns are evil, the guy had a gun, ergo the gun made him shoot all those people. They don't understand that evil existed in the world before guns, or any weapons at all. The Bible doesn't say how Cain killed Abel, just that he did. The evil was in the actor, not the means. The weapon was irrelevant.

To shoot bullets. Ascribing anything else to a piece of steel is a mistake. Because once you go down that road, then suddenly you have firearms that are "weapons of war" and why do civilians need "weapons of war." See how it works?
