Yeah because you can't supply food for your table with a gun right?

I didn't say a gun's sole purpose is to injure/kill people. You're still killing the animal...

It is a tool. If used properly it will benefit, if used wrongly it can devastate.

well cant police detain you for 48 hours without cahrging you for anything? holding you anything longer and they have to charge you with something. they brought him in and let him go, they were full within their rights too.

well, if you want to get technical. a gun was invented to kill, intimidate, and injure things.

today the roles of guns have changed. while they are still used to kill, intimidate, and injure things. they are also used as a tool of shooting sports.

bow and arrows were made to kill

spears and knives as well

with time all of these found other uses in society as their primary function was devalued

plenty of things were created with different intentions than the uses they found

Wow, nine pages.

BTW, in CA, a gun is considered "loaded" if unexpended ammunition capable of being discharged from the firearm is in the immediate possession of the same person. So, in areas where one can openly carry an unloaded firearm, if you have one round of ammunition for that firearm in your pocket, you're now considered to be illegally carrying a loaded gun.
