Below is something I just found on my second hard drive. The digital date puts it in 2001, when I was still in college, so I'm sure it's something I wrote for a class.
Tell me what you think.
Tell me what you think.
The anti-gun groups sometimes mention that if a law or banning saves even one life then it's worth it. Then they follow up with the statement, "guns kill." Yes, it is a correct statement that they can be used by one to cause the death of another. Let's take this simple statement further, then.
knives kill
forks kill

This is a small list that I compiled. Using the gun-grabbers philosophy that even one life saved is worth the sacking of people's homes to grab these objects of destruction, outlawing these items will surely help. And I have no doubt in my mind that the doctor next door will be absolutely thrilled when the FBI arrives at 3:00 A.M. to secure the perimeter of his pool. He will be grateful that the killing grounds that he paid thousands of dollars for is being dismantled for the good of humanity, with no compensation to himself. And we will all feel safer the next time a sniper from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobbacco, Firearms, and Yo-Yos drops an unruly eight year old who had the audacity to bring an unregistered Duncan to school. And Jonny Cochran will be delighted to know he'll have an opportunity to defend God in court for the mass slayings of innocent people as a result of the careless use of hurricanes and earthquakes.
