David,
AC/DC fits well with your latent tendencies.
“The man is back in town
So don’t you mess around”
What a man he was. He drunk himself to death, dying in his car all alone. Such a waste of talent. We referred to them as ‘akker/dakker’. While the name of the group was derived from electrical power sources, it was always implied that homosexuality was involved. Why are you so intrerested in a pseudo-homosexual band? I believe that they are reforming and have not lost their touch.
Booze kills! Ban Booze!
David,
ignorance kills as well and usually does. Unfortunately, human genetic modification is not legal as yet and so the world is stuck with the problem.

David.
Do you really think the Alabama madman would have been able to kill as many people as he did if he did not have a gun?

Do you think the madman in Australian would have killed more than your examples combined if he didn’t have fire? What you miss or ignore is it was a “madman” hammer, knife, fire, bat, rock, rope, Mrs. Plum in the library with a monkey wrench, it’s ALL the same. A psychopath with a weapon.
The purpose for which I have guns is #1 a deterrent against a tyrannical government, #2 to stop an psychopath from harming me or my loved ones and #3 for sport shooting.
Tony,
You asked - “What is the sole purpose of a GUN?”
I’d say it is to hold and launch a projectile or projectiles, by way of a controlled explosion, in a certain direction.
Yikes!
Even I can see this thread is a waste of time
David,
the Alabama gunman shot most of his victims from inside his car. Now unless he had an endless supply of knives, hammers, wrenches, etc, in his car to hurl at them, then without access to a firearm, the casualty count would have been far lower.
In Australia, if police are called to a domestic dispute, then they check firstly to see if the homeowner has a firearm licence. If so, then the incident is treated more seriously, as it is known that when an argument erupts and a firearm is accessible, that a simple argument escalates rapidly to a deadly confrontation.Tim Brien said:

Is it better if they are BOTH unarmed? Do you still beat your wife?
MAN FIGHTS BACK HOME INVADERS
FRAYSER, TENNESSEE – A man fought back three robbers after being forced inside his Frayser home at gunpoint.
It happened just after 11 a.m. on Tuesday, October 2, 2007 at a home in the 700 block of Frayser Drive.
Family members say 31-year-old Kevin Hill was approached by a guy with a gun while getting out of his SUV after running some morning errands.
That’s when two other guys came up and forced Hill inside his home and up into the attic to rob him.
Police say Hill struggled with his attackers and managed to take away one of their guns and fire.
Police say no one was hit but several shots were fired inside of the home. The robbers ran from the home, jumped in Hill’s SUV and sped off. Police later found the SUV after the trio crashed it on Syndey Street in North Memphis. Officers were able to take all three robbers into custody.
The Robbery Division is investigating. So far no charges have been filed.

David Hill said:David, if a husband is 'estranged' from his wife then he is not living on the premises. If he has a psychological problem then he most likely has a personal or apprehended violence order out against him and is forbidden to go near his wife. Any infringement will see him before the court. If the wife feels that she needs to have a weapon to defend herself against the man she lives with, then it says a lot about their relationship and about her own psychology that she is still living with him.
Are you saying it is a bad thing if an abused woman can defend herself from her estranged psychopathic husband with a gun? Is it better if they are BOTH unarmed? Do you still beat your wife?
Unlike you, I have no desire or inclination to beat my wife. I abhor violence and detest any that inflict their paranoid failings on others. This is the sign of a coward, by subjugating those unable to defend themselves. They do not try it on with those able to defend themselves - cowards to the core. They 'empower' themselves by possessing weapons. Is it any wonder that the perpetrators of massacres all seem to have the same background - paranoid loners, bullies or were bullied and an inability to fit in with society?Are you saying Tim, that the big kids in school took you lunch money every day?
David Hill said:David, look at your last few posts. Firstly, you accuse me of being a wife-beater and then imply that I am likely to become a mass murderer and on another thread call me a little wuss because I have a dislike for firearms. You have a fixation with violence, manifested in your need to possess a weapon. The weapon is the 'fix it all' drug for your inadequacies, both in the physical makeup and your psychological state.
Are you saying Tim, that the big kids in school took you lunch money every day?
Here when we see someone driving a red Ferrari, it is seen as a sure fire sign that the guy is not quite as 'big' a man as he would prefer. You do not own a red Ferrari, so one must assume the firearm and the resultant buzz it gives you, is a penile substitute.David,
maybe the following is of help to you and may lead you to seek remedial medical assistance, or at least the correct medicine being dispensed.
Quote: "The 28-July-2000 (Vol.289,No.5479) issue of SCIENCE had a special coverage of violence. One article (p.575-579) noted that animals & humans with lower brain serotonin tend to be more impulsive & aggressive – whereas the opposite was true for those with higher brain serotonin. This suggests Prozac as a more selective anti-violence drug than the sedatives & antipsychotic drugs usually used for violent mental patients. Higher vasopressin in the hypothalamus also correlated with increased antisocial aggression.
Another article (p.580-581) noted that “Hitting, Biting and Kicking” behavior was observed in nearly half of 2-year-olds, but declined somewhat steadily to the age of eleven (the last point graphed). Personality trait “risk factors” for violence (which twin studies indicate are genetic) include impulsivity, low IQ and a temperament predisposed toward anger, vindictiveness and blaming others. "

Tony,
as a kid, I was told the story of an infamous gorilla housed in a city zoo. It would entice people to gather around its cage, by posturing and beating its chest. Then it would casually defacate in its paw and enthusiastically shower the milling onlookers with the proverbial. It became famous for repeating this act.
