we should probably ban cars though, because those kill a lot of people and are also stolen a lot.
we should ban alocohol because that kills a ton of people, especially when mixed with cars.
we should kiss tobacco's sweet ass goodbye.
let's ban airplanes too so that al-qaeda can't get a hold of one.

Charlton Heston, while cars, and alcohol and tobacco and aeroplanes can harm, maim and kill people, that is not necessarily their intended use. There is NO other intended use for a firearm then to harm, maim or kill something, period. We can have this chicken and the egg debate for a lifetime, but the reality is that regardless of the matter, if you eliminate both the chicken AND the egg, you solve the problem
