Two points ron, a gun is simply a weapon, but its not the weapon that kills people, people kill people. a gun is simply a tool like any other, personally i prefer using them for hunting wild game. if i go on a hunting trip the highlands would be my destination of choice. point two, the ak47 is a pretty easy weapon to get, its composition is pretty hardy, easily repairable and replaceable. its a good workhorse gun. but the flip side to this means its an easier gun to obtain and is the weapon of choice for millitias, revolutionaries, resistance fighters and the modern terrorist. furthmore, it is western gun manufacturers which still fuel the terror the ak47 inflicts because they supply repair parts, produce the required ammo and in some cases make replicas of the original. i blame the irresponsible behaviour of the western governments and arms suppliers for alot of the suffering and war which goes on in the 3rd world. scumbags like, cheney, rumsfield and bush have shares in arms companies and millitary suppliers. last point, that guy in the first vid was off his nutt, when a barrell gets hot like that from too much firing it can cause the barrell to crack and allow hot gases from the bullets firing to come back and burn or injure the body, either that or the idiot put either too much gun oil on the body or in the barrell and it caught fire; any way this guy like so many others is a prime example of how not to use a gun nor the behaviour of using them. its like using a 500 yr old samurai sword to chop wood.

quote:
with an AK you simply have to flex the muscle in your index finger and hey if you point it at a big enough crowd you can probably kill a dozen or more...so I'd say the gun kills people more efficiently. The ak47 does nothing when its left on the ground or lying in a gun cabinet, it takes either an idiot or a muderous scumbag to take it out, put the ammo in, take the safety off the gun, find the target, aim it at the target and then pull the trigger. so in this equation it takes 5 steps by a human to prepare, load,take the safety off, target and shoot. if the person left it there, the ak47 would still be in the cabinet, it takes a human to kill with it. so as i said, people kill people. quote:
how far would Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold of Columbine fame have got if they'd only been armed with baseball bats???? the methods and the means varied but if the kids wanted to poison the people in there with sarin gas or mustard gas they could have. its the foolish availabilty of guns in the USA that allows those kind of horrors to occur. and to frank i find the NRA to be a sickening organisation to hold a gun ralleigh in colombine the week after the shootings, it showed very poor taste and lack of sympathy. quote:
besides what about a gun that gets knocked or dropped and discharges its rounds into some unsuspecting kid or the like....id say that gun just killed someone! i would blame the negligent and reckless actions of the owner of the gun, what if it was a disc saw powered up, and fell and dismembered limbs, would this be any better? as i said the gun is a tool like the disc saw. quote:
Like any other?????? yeah i have one im my tool box right next to my spanners! yeah a tool whos sole purpose is killing no?? I dont see people banging in nails with thier mp5s its a tool because its a creation of mans own hand to complete a task, like your spanner to tighten a nut or pliers to take out a nail, you'd hardly expect to do it with your bare fingers. thats why man invented tools to make his work easier. the purpose for which you use the tool is entirely up to the user at the end of the day, whether you use it to Hunt, protect the innocent or murder your fellow man. and the results of its use rest on the users conscience.
