I hate people who treat them like some toys and fantasize about them. That makes me think they are in some sort of death cult. That they found socially acceptable way to love violence.

I would still get one for safety but it is a tool made for specifically one thing. To pierce the skin and rip through the inner organs of a person.

They can serve a good purpose but they are fundamentally grim tools of pain and suffering. They shouldn’t be celebrated and glorified in their own right, that is sick. They can be used to preserve something precious but at a price to pay.

    I hate guns because they are there just to kill things. I do not take pleasure in killing things. I would still own a gun if I had to

    It’s simple as that

      I don’t take pleasure in euthanizing animals either. Its expected to hate killing but it’s not the gun’s fault that these jobs need to be done.

      Do you hate archery as a sport? Because those things were invented and designed purely for killing people too.

          So do hate the intention of the design or do you hate that they are sometimes misued? You said you hated guns because they were designed to kill people.

            It’s about efficiency and power difference. Not everything is black and white, despite your attempts

              What about a break barrel .22 with shorts? That’s slower to kill than someone trained with a bow. So some killing devices are okay, as long as they don’t kill very quickly?

                If you don’t see what I mean by now I think we will never understand each other and must just move on to avoid pointless word exchange

                I have my weekly limits for ridiculous hair splitting debates on the web

                It’s really not that hard to understand “I hate guns because they are made for killing”. It’s not some kind of attack on you
