If guns are harmless, why don't we give every kid a gun and let them take them to school? Then we will see how

Question

harmless guns are.

(I know, some still won't comprehend and will answer with some garbage about the constitution, etc. which completely misses the point!)

Answer 1

Guns aren't harmless, and anyone making that claim doesn't know **** about guns.

Guns do what their operators make them do, just like any other inanimate object. It's the same reason you need a license to drive a car, to demonstrate that you know how to use one safely and properly. They can cause LOTS of harm if given to a person who doesn't know how to use it.

Answer 2

idiot

Answer 3

If shovels are harmless lets give every student take one to school and see if they are harmless then . But lets first teach them how to use that shovel .

Answer 4

For the same reason we don't give kids big boxes of chocolate or bottles of whiskey. Or allow them to have s*x with adults even if they want to.

Are you getting this? Anti gun people are not the brightest bulbs in the box.

Who ever told you that guns are harmless, lied to you.

Answer 5

Yeah, you're a real American Hero.

I don't think I could top what other posters have said about your moronicness.

Is that a word?

It is now because it fits.

Answer 6

well good idea but there is always the one violent kid that will ruin it for everybody...

what i say is..guns dont hurt or kill, its the people that do it

Answer 7

my answer is that you have completely totally lost your mind. i feel for you my child.

Answer 8

Classic straw man argument, in other words your "argument" logically meaningless. (There's a couple of other logical fallacies in your statement as well, but I digress.) No one is suggesting giving every school kid a gun, you have basically made up an argument your opponents aren't using in order to demolish it. It's sad that you accuse people who might disagree with you as replying with "garbage" when you yourself are using  a garbage argument. If you want to debate the merits of gun control, I would be glad to do so, when and if you can come up with logical arguments. :)

Answer 9

really

Answer 10

Even better, give all of them a car. Cars are much more dangerous. I know you probably won't comprehend........)

Answer 11

There are those who want the teachers to have guns but they don't realize that if a shooting really did occur, what's there to stop a police officer from shooting the teacher holding the gun? The officer doesn't know that the teacher is not the shooter and has to react quickly to keep that person from shooting others.

Yes, a person who has a gun probably does know how to use it. However, that person hasn't been trained to deal with situations like school shootings and could panic or accidentally shoot the wrong person. Situations like that require extensive training and a person who has gone to a gun range and fired a weapon a few times is not properly trained to deal with a school shooting or a hostage situation.
