You have been a shining example of my whole argument, thank you. People who think THEIR view is the only view. You say guns can't be for sport and are ultimately for killing. You say my comparison to alcohol is not a good one.

Well what the fuck is alcohol for if not to make you drunk? You can make good tasting beverages WITHOUT alcohol. So don't give me some BS about how alcohol is benevolent and not comparable. Seeing as YOU never used a gun for sport nor appreciate it in that way, YOU can't make the connection that for SOME people, guns are not for killing. I get alot of joy out of target shooting. When the guns are in my house they are in pieces in a safe. I have no desire to use them on anything but a piece of paper with a black circle on it. So how can the gun be about killing FOR ME?

Taking guns away from people doesn't make them stop hurting one another. Taking drugs away from them hasn't kept them from getting stoned. Taking alcohol away never kept them from getting drunk (just created a criminal market). Taking the ability to express ourselved sexually (even here on the Internet) away doesn't make people not want sex or find ways to share the pictures and videos.

You want people to stop hurting each other don't put a bandaid on the symptom. Change the beliefs the people have that lead them to cause one another harm
