Cars are transportation devices, baseball bats are sports equipment,
whereas guns have no other function than to kill or disable.
Apart from hunting they are for killing and hurting people.
1 ) Possession of defensive guns
can save people 's lives.
Being unarmed is stupid and irresponsible.
The
victims need to be well armed; being unarmed can bring on death.
People have lost their lives because thay did not have guns
with which to defend themselves.
2 ) NO one has said that cars or baseball bats can be banned.
No one said that.
However, everyone knows that people were robbed & murdered for many centuries
before guns were invented. Ancient criminals did not sit around waiting for guns to be invented.
Guns cannot be kept out of criminals' hands either;
that 's impossible.
If criminals did not take the time to make the guns personally,
thay 'd buy them from blackmarket gunsmiths,
the same as thay get marijuana or as thay got alcohol in the 1920s.
