War...not terribly important?  Whatever floats your boat...

Ah, more of that newsgroup patience I keep hearing so much about...

Alright, everybody aboard the logic train.  Yes, _everybody_.  Now, what can we
use guns for?
War.
Hunting.
Sport.
Self-defense.
Target practice.

Great.  We've found some uses for it.  Hold on.  War, hunting, sport, and
self-defense all lead to killing things.  That's not that good...And target
practice...well, there's the old adage "Practice makes perfect."  The more time
you spend shooting a gun, the more efficient you'll be when it comes time
to...kill...something.  Oh.  Oops.  Well, damn.  I think we've discovered the
purpose of guns, haven't we?  Guns cause pain, suffering and death.  The only
way that they do any good still requires someone else to get hurt.  Am I
advocating the banning of guns?  No.  If you think so, you should learn to
read.  But I'm not a fan of ignorance.  And closed minded thinking.  Everyone
needs to remember what the sole purpose of a gun is.  The hurting of another,
whether it be human, or otherwise.
