Are you okay with a teacher or principal using the saws in wood shop? Or a fire extinguisher in home ecs class? How about them using scissors and that giant knife thing that cuts a bunch of paper at once in a straight line.

if you can point to me the massacres that were done with saws, scissors, giant knifes, and paper cutter then ill worry, but until then gun are best tool for the job, thus they should be taken away.

How about fertilizer and a rent a truck? no? Fine then I can easily answer you with 9-11. That was done due to box cutters and killed thousands

Anyway, you didn't answer my question. Which was are you okay with teachers using those instruments?

 

If a cop loses his mind one day and starts killing a bunch of people, no one would blame the gun because he was supposed to have one. It was simply a misfortune and should be attributed to other things. If a teacher decides to use a scissor to kill children, no one would blame the scissor, or box cutter. I thought i did answer your question, but allow me to do it more clearly. I am ok with teachers using those tools because those tools are not the problem in these scenarios. Stop being so cynical and making these complete irrelevant examples.

 


Stop being so assumptious and thinking the examples  are completely irrelevant. So you are okay with teachers using tools they are trained in. You are also okay with officers using tools they are trained in. Both are people, but you aren't okay with one group to be trained with a certain tool that the other group is trained in... So officers shouldn't be trained to use saws


we are derailing from the issue, but ill bite one more time. Everything can be used to kill, a kitching knife to a bag of cottons, and of course the one that has always been with us... our own hands. When you think about this, examples of saws and scissors become irrelevant. Guns are a different case because they were made with the sole purpose of killing. They are extremely effient and have no other purpose. I really don't undertand why would anyone want to be trained to use a gun, if not to be an officer or soldier.  


Except they aren't made for that sole purpose.  Ergo your entire premise is flawed.  Tons of people use guns for purpose that do not involve killing in the least.
